    Looking for project ideas

    AHHHHH spare fabrics are filling up my storage space!

    Need ideas to use them before it's too late and I get lost in a sea of fabrics (horror movie soundtrack starts).

    More seriously, I have the following elements and very little imagination for what to do with them.

    • 2.5m 100D cordura (black)
    • 2.5m Grountsheet (nylon)
    • 55x130cm Neoprene, 3mm
    • 5m Diolen batting (insulation)


    I really don't know what to do with these materials. I had thought of making a sort of blanket, but the fabrics are very rough and/or don't feel nice on skin.

    I'm envisioning a ground pad for a dog, or pack of dogs.

    Check out this old thread for ideas for small projects: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ur-tarp-stakes

    Lots of good ideas from some of the experts!

    That is an interesting idea. Sew the Neoprene together to make the cushioning then sew a pocket out of the cordura to put the neoprene in and sew shut?

    I do like the idea, but while it sounds good I don't think the neoprene will insulate it long enough for the beer to be cool after a long summer's day.
