This video made me think of this community. Fixing a camping chair and stool with Tyvek is pretty inventive, as well as sewing a tent with the material!

    The more you delve into the fibre arts the more you’ll learn how fabrics are good at what they’re good at, but they aren’t ever perfect. Tyvek is house wrap. There are many other things it can be used for, but thats what it is. It’s also super loud, ugly and slippery as hell. It comes in super wide rolls which is handy sometimes.

    I bought a 3’ wide roll to make a sail. It cost $100 and I used less than 1/4 of the roll and the sail I ended up with was pretty much a joke. The actual sail cost $150 before tax. So for me it was quite expensive and ultimately a waste of time and money. But I had fun. And eventually used the rest when i re-sided my house.
