Thanks, The zipper is just heavy enough to cause the sock to spin just a bit, when setting up/getting in and out and the RL seam to go off kilter. I wouldn't want that to cause any problems with tension/compression underneath an underquilt, or pulling in a funny way, so I added a little loop of grosgrain to the inside rl seam at the very top of the zipper seam and added a mitten hook to that, so that the rl seam of the sock isn't just resting on the ridgeline, it's attached. I did notice that when unzipping it, it did pull the seam significantly off center, so the hook also acts as a tensioner so I can unzip without having to hold the sock in place.
In terms of the selvage edge, just the little bit of perforation is showing. Otherwise, the seam is double folded over, almost like a flat felled, but not quite. I'm quite confident that it'll hold up. If not, I'll just fold it down one more fold and sew it across.
I'm really hoping it helps with temperature control, I love camping with the kids, and waking up all cozy in my hammock in the morning.
