    Newbie DIY underquilt

    I just came here to say thanks. Without this forum I would probably not have even attempted to make my own underquilt. I now own a sewing machine and have taught my self a new skill. Anyway here are some photos from my last hang.

    that looks great!
    So... what method did you use? Any particular guide you followed, or did you get some ideas and then go it alone?

    Thanks for the nice comments. I used an old synthetic sleeping bag cut it to length and sewed silnylon to the bottom. I made a channel and ran shock cord through it. It looks the part and has worked well. Believe it or not it can get cold (relative) here in Kauai.

    What a great use of what you already had! Looks great. So the silnylon is kind of a built in UQ Protector? You'll have to let us know if you get any condensation issues with that.
