Here's a link to pictures of my latest bug bivvy.
As I posted somewhere before:
I just finished making my second bug bivvy, a noseeum tube, (2 pieces of 125" x approx. 59" hemmed black noseeum sewn together, 96" #5 zipper with 2 reversable pulls on one seam, drawstrings on the ends). It was pretty easy to make and looks good, imo.
BTW, this was for my speer-type hammock, top loader.
I'll post some pictures in the gallery.

Looks good. At some point I am thinking about doing one with noseeum on top and DWR or 1.1 untreated on bottom. A sock to trap in the heat, or keep the bugs out. I may have to borrow some of your work when it comes to pass.
Is that too much to ask? Girls with frikkin' lasers on their heads?

Another great project, NCP. Good job! You have me jealous!

Thanks. I just went for the easiest thing I could think of, with a zipper. This one can be for hotter weather. I may try a 1/2 DWR version for fall or spring, when dusk temps are a little cooler. And a full sock for winter. I've got some extra DWR lying around that's NOT camo.
Lots of projects still to get done.

You'll be bug free in that thing for sure. It looks great. You sewing skills have really become top notch.

Down quilt or bridge hammock. Probably the bridge hammock.
