    Making A DL

    What is the best way to make the Dl hammock. Full length and fold over and sew or cut it into 2 peices and sew?

    Thanks

    Here is a post from Blackgoat that is really good. IF you don't want the net just leave it off. It has been a while since I read it, but I think it is double layer. If not just put two pieces on top of one another and sew up the sides all around. If you want to be able to put in a pad just leave a gap about three feet long on one of the long sides.

    There are also good instructions at www.imrisk.com.

    If you have double the length of fabric you plan on using you could get away with just folding it and sewing the 3 unsewn edges except for a big enough area to slide a pad in as stated above.

    My next project is using BlackGoats plans to make me a WBBB Clone. That's going to be a test of patience lol.
