Hello All
I would like to first thank everyone who made this hammock possible Joanne Fabrics, diygearsupply.com, CreativeKayt, JohnSawyer, headchange4you, Redden Marine and everyone else who posted links that I followed to get my inspiration and DIY skills. Also I would like to thank Bat who dubbed my hammock "The Kayak."
I started out with headchange4you's hennesy instructions. I couldn't get the whipping right so I went with the Blackbird whipping style.
When I changed from headchange4you's instructions I decided I liked the idea of some of the top sewn together but wanted something to sew the zipper around better so went with a Triangle type shape sewn in spot cut on the bias for maximum stretchability. It has a warbonnet style shelf with instructions inspired by creativeKayt (thank you). Thank you sclittlefield for the help with my order and information about the limitations of coil zippers. You kind of inspired the netting that tucked away into the shelf.
The ripstop came from Joanne Fabrics. The zipper, No See Um netting and shock cord from diygearsupply.com.
And without further ado "The Kayak"
