I've been doing a lot of reading, have almost all my supplies, and I think I'm ready to get started on this project. I just want a few more eyes to make sure my plan isn't screwed up.
I'm planning on full length (height + 5") and a pre-dart width of 48". With the darts the finished ends will be 36", 8 chambers with 1.5" darts on the inner layer and 2.5" on the outer. I'll have 2" baffles with a 1" differential cut. I'm planning on making a "tub" out of the outer and having the inner as the "lid". Sowing order would be darts, baffles top and bottom, pleats for the tub corners, three edges, stuff and last edge. I have what should be ~800fill, so I should be ~13* with 10% over stuff if the calculator is right.
I'm not sure if I want to try to add the channels to the seam allowances or cut and add them separately. Any thoughts on that? I'm also planning on putting tabs on the corners to provide separate edge tensioners and suspension lines.
I'm attaching some drawings to show what I'm thinking. Any thoughts?
