    Sleeping Bag to UQ Conversion.

    So I previously asked about sleeping bag to UQ conversions, but I have a slightly different question this time, and might get higher quality and more responses if I start a new thread.

    So I found that if I zip up my bag, and undo the bottom section, so that I just have a cylinder, I could run a line through that and hook it up to my suspension to make an UQ. It works really well, but it's a tad too narrow. What if I extend the diameter of that cylinder by either sewing in a piece of fabric between the two edges that I normally zip together, or by using grosgrain straps in the same manner (so it's just a bigger cylinder, hence a wider UQ).

    Any thoughts on whether this will work?

    This is my old thread:

    Sound like you're close to making a peapod of sorts If you removed the zipper from one side, perhaps you could add a quilted extension to get the extra room you're looking for. Then just sew the zipper to that so you can close the bag up around you. You wouldn't even need a top quilt
