Think I caught the bug myself. I got some Amsteel on order right now that I don't have to have right now but........I need it.

Is using a childs sewing machine until I can get a big boys machine a symptom?
I believe I may be infected as well...

bought a new fabric impaler last night. i walked out of the fabric store with a big smile on my face.
I own 3 thread-injectors, more than a couple of yards of ripstop, more than enough rolls of thread (with a redundancy), and lots more of stuff. Ah yes, there's also a pair of whoopie-slings I made months ago which I still have no use for -- my three DIY hammocks already have whoopies...
But the worst: I am getting out of down and there's no cash for the dealer. And I absolutely need 7D and just don't have a clue how to pay for it...
Hah - I have all the same symptoms and have done all the line work (with mega-redundancy. How many soft shackles does one need??) So now I am moving on to the desire to sew my own gear. I initially thought I would track down an "industrial" machine on CL and found quite a few out there locally. But is that really necessary? My wife has a sewing machine and knows how to use it - perhaps I should man up and ask her if I can use hers to learn? Any good initial advice or go-to sites from the experienced sewing-types for us total sewingnoobs??
I’m still very new but I’m looking at taking a sewing class at the local fabric store... I haven’t actually made anything yet partly due to not owning a sewing machine. I feel the bug coming on already! Uh Oh

Uh oh,
I think I've caught a really good case of Hammockitis. I went past purchase, straight to thread injector DIY. Created a new TQ out of a mummy. Received my first shipment of Amsteel Blue, Saturday. Made 5 whoopie slings and 4 soft shackles. Now I'm contemplating an UQ design to make two out of a sleeping bag.
Is there a cure, or is it terminal? I think it's highly contageous. Ms. Chef wants one. I'm waiting for a PIF hammock for the little ones and planning trips, including a stealth hang.

There are very few problems we can solve ourselves, but there is almost nothing we cannot solve together.
Most often when someone says they can't, they are unwilling to try.
I am afraid one doesn't get rid of hammockeritis until the day one kicks the bucket...
but it is much more fun and less uncomfortable than many other terminal conditions.. especially tenter-itis!
