As long as we're on the subject, no discussion of making your own outdoor gear is complete without mention of Seattle Fabrics. Huge selection of outdoor fabrics and related stuff [like patterns, nylon packcloth, goretex, goretex-clones, heavy vinyl covered cloth (my son's boyscout troop used this stuff to make each kid a set of snowshoes), straps, clips, buckles, neopreme (sp?), heat-sealable water-proof nylon (for making your own custom dry bags of any shape (like waterproof sleeping pad or tent bags, etc.), plus special glues and stuff like that]. Check out their web site at http://www.seattlefabrics.com/default.htm . FYI, I have no connection with them other than I like their store a lot.
