    DIY Blackbird XLC Clone - Dual Zips & Argyle!

    My wife wanted a purple hammock, and she loves argyle, and she was adamant she wanted it to be just like her WBBB but bigger. It's not 100% complete yet, but enough was done for her to use it this past weekend at the NJ Winter Hang. Really pleased with how it turned out.

    I'll post more about it soon, but for now just wanted to share some teaser shots

    It is a very alert, active sheep, with a stylish, lively carriage.

    I use a Juki & Pfaffs w/ assorted attachments, and have serviced lots of vintage machines. Any questions?

    one thing I am bigly intimidated by with DIY now that I am getting into it...

    How do you cut those shapes so nice to fit? I see some complex large cut like that overcover (or similar nets) and other things and cringe with fear.
