I have some Cambric/Ventile like material and was thinking about making a poncho-tarp (5×8′-ish) with some of it, is there a pattern floating around?
I’ve owned a couple, but they are gone now.
thanks in advance

Mike,
Isn’t that fabric non-waterproof?
^^ perfect- thanks!
not “waterproof”, but very (very) water resistant- I’m going to shrink it first and then treat it as well
cool! Â What is the advantage of this material?
over modern fabrics, probably not much- it’s going to weigh more and be less waterproof, but it does breathe quite well, is decently sturdy and a little more friendly to embers from a fire :)
some of my trips I try and turn back the clock a little- more wool, more wood, more steel, more fire :)
I’m diggin’ the nostalgia, Mike!
I do the same on occasion. Â It just feels good.
Would love to see the finished product!
Will do :). I have friend that sews fortunately, hoping to have her make a windshirt as well
