Now that cold weather is here does anyone have a template for a basic frost bib. I watched Shug's video and want to try one. I suppose I could just climb in my hammock with a tape measure. What other options should I look at? Not especially cold last night only about 18 degrees I was toasty warm but my top quilt was kind of wet for about a foot. I was using a SLD tree runner with knotty mods under a winter haven tarp.
I think Shug cut up an old fleece sweater for his
Fit right around his neck!
Measuring... that's crazy-talk!Originally Posted by Seadug
I am just about finished with one. I watched Shug's video and I think he said he just cut the front out of a sweatshirt as the base section? With that info I went to my local fabric store and picked up some fleece. I cut the base section to fit across my front like a shirt, then added a small section that tapers to my ridgeline. I plan to add a loop of grosgrain to hook my s-biner to. S-biner will clip to ridgeline. I still need to attach my neck loop too.
I hope the photos below help. I'm all ears for ideas to improve it. I am just learning to sew so please go easy on my technique.

Dimensions really aren't that critical.

No more beard!
The beard maybe would have worked as a frost bib.
