Making a Lightweight Backpacking Tarp #2 - Sewing The Ridgeline

​​Next step in the process

To make a piece of fabric big enough, you need to sew together some  fabric.  The fabric I am using is 58" wide and I need to double that. In the end I hope to come out with an 11 x 9 foot tarp.  

This video is how I join two pieces of fabric together to make one big piece.  At the same time I need to sew it so it is strong and as waterproof as possible with just sewing.  Later I will seam seal it to finish the waterproofing.

The technique many use  is a modified flat-felled seam.  It isn't a true flat-felled, but makes a real nice, strong, seam that is perfect for backpacking tarps.
