I've just completed my first sewing projects of an 11' (almost) 1oz HyperD hammock with ziptie gathered ends, and a cat-cut tarp as per Jellyfish's videos.
My sewing wasn't perfect but I'm more than happy with the results and the few minutes I managed in the hammock so far were super comfy.
I'm so greatefull for the content that Jellyfish and Nature Calls Outdoors puts out there on YouTube, I certainly found it inspiring enough to have a go myself. I did come across quite a few other videos and content creators but again and again I found myself back watching these guys, and following along with Jellyfish made the project so simple.
For the rolled hem I just couldn't get the rolled hem foot going (think the only one I have is too narrow - 1/8" rather than 1/4") but N.C.O. convinced me to just do it by hand without all the pins - folding as you go - and I found it to be a doddle; to my standards at least! I even managed to knock up a couple of stuff sacks following the round bottom bag videos and competed both with only one massive pucker in the stitches, so I'm calling that a win.
Thanks guys and keep up the good work,
Stan
ps, forgive the suspension and 'tent pegs', it was all I could find lying around at work for test purposes
