I guess I mean it’s not a kit per say?

These are just the material with the cutting lines printed on the fabric. This is great, especially if you don't have a lot of room to lay out the material. So, you will need to order whatever need to make your finished tarp. I plan to use the pieces I cut off for reinforcements and I ordered a yard of grograin and 2 Beastie D's for the project. I have not started yet, but I have spread out the material to admire: Morrocan Blue. My tarp is a 10 footer instead of the 11 or 12. I just asked if it could be done and low and behold it is here!

Completed this new Dutch Xenon 1.1oz DIY Cat Tangle all-season tarp in record time using the pre-printed pattern right on the fabric -- no layout, no measuring, and no marking! The result was a perfectly precise tarp with more than an hour shaved off my typical build time.

The new Cloakware pattern is very nice and has a low signature in the woods; without my hi-vis guy lines you would almost miss it in these pictures!
