I would love to make a custom hammock for myself, but am feeling a little timid about doing so. I've read some posts and just have not settled on how to go about it. I have some questions, so if you have any thoughts, I'd love your input.
1. What fabric? I don't mind stretch but also hate feeling slippery. I'd like a little grip.
2. What weight of fabric? I'd like to go as light as possible for backpacking and feel comfortable it'll hold the additional gear (sleeping bag/pad/under quilt).
3. What length and width? I have an ENO Double and I really don't like the extra stitching along the sides. I just want it long enough and wide enough to fit me.
4. Sewing plans? I'm not much of a sewer, but I have friends who are who can help me in this department. Will I need to sew all of the ends so they don't fray? Do I need to buy special thread?
5. Where are the best prices for materials?
Thanks!
