    Wow. Those landscape/forest shots show off some beautiful lands.

    Nice work on your underquilt protectors.

    Is there a simple pattern you made these from? I'd like to make a few myself.

    +1 to that.

    For 300cm hammock, I took 260cm of Argon 90 fabric. On the long sides, make a double rolled hem, with a not sewed hole in the middle, for the shockcord lock later. I also reinforced the hole with grosgain where it leaves and enter the rolled hem channel. Run shockcord into the rolled hems, take it out through the hole in the middle, insert cordlock, and continue going again into the rolled hem. The shockcord doesnt have to be through the entire lenght of the hem, you can make it like 2/3 of the lenght, situated in the center. These are to tighten the protector once you are in your hammock, and the protector is a bit loose.
    After that, make your head and foot ends double rolled hems. In these, you insert a shock cord loop, that will gather the ends of the protector and will be hooked to your suspension.

    If anybody likes, I can post detailed pictures. This project was not my idea, I was inspired by the protector that I bought from one of vendors here, 2QZ or something like that.

    and yes, you need to gather the long sides a bit in order to make the shockcord work
