    Side Rail Hammock

    Finished my second side rail hammock. First was my daughters christmas present and this is my son's. He goes to school at Biola University so used their colors.
    10 ft long 60 in wide
    Seams where sewn together then bound and sewn again with 7/8" grosgrain. I like the lay of this better than the french felled seam. Grosgrain may be overkill and may go with a lighter polyester binding next time. Instructions and photos included below. Again thank you to Kyle at Ripstop, Dutch and Xtrekker for the materials and tutorials.

    Wow, very nice. But, I'm not sure which is more impressive... the hammock, or the organization in your workspace.

    Seriously though, nice hammock.
