double layer, double size hammock?

I'd like to try out the tablecloth method. Needs to be double-layer and big enough for a little kid and an average mama.

I tried doing a search, but didn't find what I was looking for.

Get two of the tablecloth factory 90x132, lay them perfectly on top of each other, then whip the ends. Thats how I did my last two. Holds me and my wife very comfortably. First one I did is just as comfy, but I got two of the 90x156, then sewed 3 sides together and folded the ends in twice to make channels and a final length of 132. Much more involved that one.

Here's the general idea... DIY Gear Supply Dbl. Adapt it to your needs.

Basically for a double layer tablecloth hammock, all you need to do is sew the ends together, with or without an end channel depending on how you want to attach the suspension, and part of the long edges just leaving however much of an opening you want to insert a pad.

Thanks. I'm hoping for a tutorial since I am directionally challenged! lol

I must not be using the search feature correctly, because I am pretty sure that I have seen tutorials for several different tablecloth hammocks in this forum.
