55" Samsung LED tv (save thin foam bag tv is surrounded by)
46" Samsung LED tv (save thin foam bag tv is surrounded by)
32" LG LED tv (save thin foam bag tv is surrounded by)
$1/yd nylon from Walmart
When I purchased these tvs over the last 2-3 years I saved the thin foam bags they shipped in thinking I would use it for something someday.
I sewed up a 4-layer extremely light-weight underquilt for my son's hammock on Friday morning. I salvaged 2 layers from the 55" tv and 1 each from the other two tvs.
Outer layer of foam is 44"x58" with 2 3.5" darts along the short side, next layer 42"x58" with 2-2.5" darts along the short side, next layer 40"x58" with 1-3" dart on the short side, inside layer 38"x58" with 1-1" dart on the short side. Outer nylon shell is the same size as the outer foam layer 44"x58" with 2 3.5" darts. The inner nylon shell is the same size as the inner layer of foam 38"x58" with 1-1" dart.
All laters were sewn together along the outer edge (along with the shells). 2" grosgrain folded over and sewn to the edge to make a channel for the bungie cords.
The UQ performed AWESOMELY this weekend.
