With the help of the "my take on the diy hennessy hammock" thread from headchange4u and some videos from xtrekker, I have finally completed my first hammock. It turned out great. I just can't believe that I actually made this.
11ft x 56 wide
Double layer 1.1oz ripstop
Diy whoopies and straps with toggles
I took a lot of pictures.
Sewing was new to me and so was the 1969 Kenmore that I resurrected. I've learned so much in the last month or so. Now on to tarp and under quilt.

Nice. That's how I started as well, same project. It is all over from here. Welcome to thread everywhere, impulse fabric purchasing, down stuffing and the like. Its fun!
My head is an animal
Looks Aewsome! I would love to try my hand at some of these DIY projects.
That's fantastic!

Remstar it looks great. Pretty dang impressive for a first hammock. Now you need to make one for each season...lol
Great looking hammock. Congratulations!
looks great! I do not have that talent.
That is very nice. I don't think my first will look that smooth

Thank you and you should just jump right in and give a try.

Thanks...I will be making the wife one next I'm sure. She already has big bright pink plans...lol I enjoyed putting some finished touches on it to kind of bring it to another level. Your videos were a huge help.

Thank you. It's amazing how well these things turn out even with out the experience. The imperfections are hard to see. What I'm getting at is I think some parts are actually easier than it looks.
Again, the sense of accomplishment is unreal. I'm really proud of what I did. My friends and family are amazed. Thanks everyone!
Congratulations, that looks awesome. Now your only problem is going to be trying not to make things. I'm guessing you were a maker before your hammock project, and you've just recently turned your attention to hammocks. If not, you're in for a fun ride as you start exploring all the stuff that's possible.
Congrats and have fun. Brian
Crayons - they might look different, but they all taste the same
