Nylon proofed material

Post by Nylon macs »

Was looking around charity shops yesterday and came across some lovely blue nylon proofed cagoule material on a roll.
Paid £10. For it and could not wait to get home to have a closer inspection.
It's just like a giant cagoule when cut a big piece off the roll the size of a double sheet.
I could not help myself and jumped on top and wrapped it around myself. I rolled around so it would incase me in it .it was lovely and was getting nice and hot .
Had to control myself before the wife returned home.
But I'm going to make it into a nice big bag like a sleeping bag with a folding flap at the top end do I can pull it over like an envelope mmmm

Morning 👍I did .
It turned out ok for the first attempt.
Just made it in to a big bag in the end so I can just jump inside and gather the top end together and seal my self in .
It's not what was trying to do but it works and it's just like a big nylon mac when inside.

I would love to make an ankle length over the head cagoule with that material , for complete coverage, mind you I’d struggle to walk 🕺🕺 but it would be fantastic trapped in full waterproofs
