I've made finger patches with the same weight fabric, which was a lot of work but I mostly wanted the aesthetic the next tarp I used one layer of "way overkill" 500d cordura the cordura being much easier to work with than a couple of layers of sil. In both cases I didn't really concern myself with the direction of the bias etc. I've had no problems.
