I have made my first gathered end hammock. However I have made bridge hammocks and am used to them. So it struck me when I layed in my newly made GE hammock that I didn't have much of a view to my side due to the wall of fabric.
I cut some netting and pinned it to the side of the hammock.
I edged the netting with grossgrain and sewed it to the side of the hammock.
I then cut away the hammock fabric inside the triangle shape of netting that had been sewn on.
I rolled the raw edges. Done!
Now I hope I have not weakened the structural integrity of the hammock body too much. It doesn't come down far enough to where I would lay my weight on it.
I LOVE the view that it opens up. Does anybody else have experience with this mod?
