So Ive been lurking about the forum and testing the waters of the hammocking world for about 4 months now. I have a lot of free time on my hands, and unfortunately no access to a sewing machine. So far i've stitched together (by hand) a pillow from RBTR kit, a double-ended stuff sack, a regular stuff sack, and a hammock (hemmed all the way around with the channels for the blackbird style whipping). All pretty time consuming, but quite fulfilling once i'm finished.
I've looked over every plan I can find on here for under quilts. I will be coming home in January and would love to spend some time outdoors in the hammock (in ohio) but I have no under quilt or the inclination to buy one since I only have limited time at home to get out in the woods. I understand it would be a good investment and as long as i treat it carefully it would be mine for a very long time. BUT, since I have so much free time I was considering hand-sewing an under quilt.
So I guess my question is, Is this insane? Does anyone have any idea how many hours this would take? And has anyone ever tried this??
What would be the most difficult portion of this project?
Any and all advice and remarks are welcome!
Thanks, Eric
