Just recieved my first set of materials from DIY.com for my first hammock project. However, have backpakcing trip planned for this weekend
Some how I have to split myslef in twain so someone I can get both done. Too bad I'm so bad with a needle. Could hike during the day and sew at night

Sorry if this is a little off topic. Really excited to make my first hammock though. Will keep everyone updated on my progress once I get started on it next weekend. Now if I can somehow manage not to sew my fingers to the 1.1 ripstop that would be great.

Do I have to pin the hem or is there a way to fold it and run it through the machine? Never used a sewing machine before. Time to go visit mom and beg for help.
