    WTB/WTT for sewing work

    Hello all, looking for somebody with adequate sewing skills to help me make a hammock.

    The plan:
    -1.1oz ripstop hammock 120x64 with a built in bug net
    -Hammock sides double rolled hem with 1 1/2 inch channel at ends
    -Bug net sewn on one side, and about 1 1/2 feet sewn on top and bottom of the other with the rest (about 3/4 length) zippered.
    -Am I missing any details? Most likely, we will finalize the plan once a deal is in motion.
    -To visualize the hammock I am trying to achieve this video is almost identical, but mine would be shorter. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PIRsGnAs-ug

    I will provide ripstop, netting, zipper materials, thread (and needle if needed) to whomever will help me out with this project.

    I love DiYing and sewing alike, but I have no sewing machine! The process is getting to be a burden having to hand stich everything (Maybe I'm getting lazy o.O)

    What is in it for you? This is where it gets interesting.

    Before I make my purchase on DiYGearSupply.com for the materials, we can work out what would make an adequate trade in compesation for the labor. Whether it be some fabric or other things, make an offer and we will work something out.

    If you are sufficiently stocked up on all DiY gear and what not we can make an agreement of payment.

    As always, thanks for looking. Make an offer!

    I'd jump at that offer if I were you.

    Alternatively, I'll build it for you (you supply the materials) for $60/hr - it will probably take me 8-10 hrs.....

    Oh, and you pay the shipping of course....
