So a couple of boxes of goodies arrived Saturday. DIY hammock parts for the family. I am itching to get started but with kid's dance recitals and drama practice tomorrow it will have to wait.
Hope the thread injector is up to the task!

Where'd you get all the materials. It looks like a couple of taffeta hammocks with some bright colored straps.

Sourced the materials from different places. The taffeta came from tableclothsfactory.com, the Lash It! and Dyneema from Redden Marine and the webbing from strapworks.com. Everything for four basic hammocks under easily $99 shipped. That's pretty amazing. I tried to steer the kids towards more earthy tones but they were not going to hear another word of it.Originally Posted by Nighthauk
Ohhhhh - nice goodie box. Looks like theres some fun coming up soon!
I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

I think I will build my son a hammock. And would like to make myself a down pillow. Looks like fun and rewarding knowing you made it.
We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.
I really like the colors you have picked out. Looking forward to some pictures of these hammocks setup!
The bright colors were my family's choices. Since I have no taste I opted for sage green so as to blend in to the forest as much as one can blend in crinkle taffeta.
It was lot a fun and a great learning experience. Well worth the time. So far I haven't been able to crack the pillow mystery yet. I prefer a bit of neck support and balled up cloths in a stuff sack provide the right support but I can't keep the pillow from sliding all around when I move.
Looks as if you have a lot of fun to do, at least try not to let it become work, that defeats the purpose. Do try to put up pictures as it happens, we all like to look over your shoulder.
