    Pattern for hex tarp with beaks?

    I’m looking to try a sewing project that’s a little more ambitious (well, ambitious for me anyway). My old tarp has seen better days, so I’m looking for a sewing pattern or just dimensions on a hex tarp with integrated beaks; basically a Warbonnet Minifly but with slightly askew hems. Anyone know a source?

    This is bigger than a Thunderfly, but Kitsap Cowboy had posted this: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ith-Half-Doors

    If you scroll down, he has the panel sizes...maybe you could scale them down to be more like a Minifly?

    Good luck, and post the finished product!

    Ah, beat me to it! I was just talking about Cowboy's Badlander w/ Skunkape and Phoenix a few hours ago. Can't recommend this tarp pattern enough.

    If you go to the DIY section of this forum there are many listed. Some “stickies” are great info!
