Thanks for the tips- first one turned out pretty good! I’ll snap some photos and post later. I needed to adjust my half moon shape didn’t make the arc as steep as it should’ve been but it works...
Is there a template available for the half moon shape or ideal dimensions?
Thanks for the information
I want to try my hand at adding a dedicated footbox to a hammock - any tips or tricks in constructing this? I’ve seen a couple with the sewn on half moon shape but I don’t exactly get how it’s done! ...
I just used cord locks and made loops attached everything to a carabiner - used the direction from the origin post about the clew just didn’t feel like tying a real clew do game up with the adjusted...
It gets rid of the squeeze for me and I can fine tune each cord so the tension is set so the quilt hugs perfectly.
I didn’t like feeling like I was in a taco with the shock running along side me
I just converted my UGQ quilt to a clew suspension! Been switching over to full time hanging instead of a bed! This is a game changer! I followed his basic design with the kam snaps but used a series...
It’s an adjustable ridge line - I bought 6 yards total - used half a yard for the triangle end caps and used another half to make two stuff sacks one for this hammock and another for a different...
Thanks I was pleased with how this project turned out.
I believe it’s DWR coated. You don’t want PU coated fabrics for a hammock. The water proofing wouldn’t be desirable for something you lay on.

1.9 digital camo 11 foot 4 tie outs, black bishop stuff sack, whoopies and straps. made for a friend.
The fabric is very comfy bought on eBay.
I’d love some of that 1.9 nylon 6.6 ripstop! What colors and how much for 9 yards

How does everyone cut there fabric? I always have issues with the edges un raveling
Alright just wanted to give a status report! The hammock is nearly completed! End channels came out beautifully - I put triangle end hoods and ran zippers all the around the hammock body! Through...
The ruler trick worked fantastic! Kept the layers tight and the end channel very consistent! Working on a double layer robic 1.7 will post photos when completed hopefully this weekend!
Thanks...
Is there a chance for the brick red 1.6 hexon to make an appearance in the wide option? I’ve been dying to make a black and brick red double layer
Thanks for posting
No it’s actslly really easy.
The zipper must be zipped together before attempting to back one on. You sorta have to get it on there just enough so that when you pull it apart it goes through the...
I found a video of papa smurf Showing how it’s done. I’ll post a photo later it’s a bit tricky but makes the coil zipper far more appealing being able to exit and enter from both sides!
Howdy - I’m trying to put four zipper tabs on a piece of coil zipper attached to my hammock how do you place four so that you can open and close the hammock on both sides! TIA
Thanks I had to make sure I ordered two fabrics that had been transitioned to the new width!
Is the robic fabric width now 74”? I saw a note that said y’all were changing sizes on it..
Hey y’all,
I’m looking for some tips or tricks y’all have to keep your double layer end channels neat and organized. I find myself re sewing them atleast once because I didn’t get a good...
So what’s this new hammock fabric you hinted!?
Thank you shug! I only use the the black bishop style bag now! Might of seen that in one of your videos “might of”
Thanks for all the content you put out!
About 10 hours broken up over a few days!
Details! 11 foot - double layer - 1.9 dark navy outer with 1.9 cadmium yellow inner layer - 1/8th Amstel Whoopi slings and continuous loops - 4.5mm ykk...

Thanks for the replies! JF the video was a huge help with the seam.
Did I miss it or did you go over a recommended stitch length ? I did some practice runs on scrap at 4mm but I think that's too...
The time has come for a Winter Tarp! Ive got 9 yards of xenon wide from Dutch. I'd like to make a Tarp with a 12.5 ridgeline and closeable doors. I want to use a grosgrain ridgeline but I'm having...
Wow! I believe that's a red eye.. stunning piece.
eBay the color options are not great. search ykk 4.5 zipper and it should pop up I got mine in dark gray
I was able to locate 200m for 30 bucks of 4.5 bigger than I wanted but it's a good deal
Trying to find a bulk source for YKK zipper can't find any sellers other than by the foot. Looking for size 3-4.5 at the largest
I've got another one wide version all ready to go! I cheated a little bit and used 68 inch robin 1.7 with a 1 inch seem on each side to hit 66 after inversion! Sadly I ran out of zipper so I have to...
Just completed my nova hammock clone took about 10 hours of work 156463
Dark gray and colbolt blue!
Id love to hear about how you accomplish this?
Does anyone own a dutchware double layer hammock? I'd love to see a picture of the side seems. I've been making a fair number of double layer hammocks and looking for new methods to try.
I've...
Could someone elaborate on the three pass method I still don't understand how to do this myself I've been itching to give it a try!
Great thanks! Time for another hammock
So I saw on dutchwares FB they are now making hexon 1.6 with nylon 66 thread. Does anyone know if this is on the website already or if this is something phasing in two weeks??
TIA
So anymore updates on these new and exiting fabrics?? Fj gets crossed for wide hexon 2.4!
Thanks y'all for the feedback!
My plan is a 2.5 oz top-quilt, nothing crazy. I'm going to play around with some scraps and try these methods out!
I made a topquilt and underquilt set out of clima shield last week. I had a lot of trouble seeing it and keeping things in order I sewed the shell together then pinned the clima shield down and it...
So are we getting updates soon or in two weeks!?
I hope the hexon line is expanded! That is probably the best fabric I've used.
So the rolled hems wind up inside?
I made a double layer robic 1.7 last Saturday, and I wasn't satisfied with how the layers ended up.
Trying to refine my technique..
I have a quick question about piecing the two layers together.
So you start by doing rolled hems on each long side of the hammock blanks. You do this individually? How do you determine how to...
lol I just read that half a dozens times! I'm going to need a video to see it in action lol
Can you also give me some pointers on designing the triangle hoods? I used jellyfishs nova triangle hoods on a recent build, but there too big for this project. How do you calculate the appropriate...
