    Somehow I screwed it up

    I made my first gathered end hammock using Hexon 1.6 from HOGS up here in Canada and somehow I messed up my measurements and have ended up with a 9ft hammock when I was aiming for 11ft. Not entirely sure how I did it, but my sewing tape is just over 6ft, so maybe I screwed up by not just getting my longer tape from the garage. Honestly pretty gutted as I already have a cheapo hammock that's 9ft and the goal of this was to make one that's longer for more comfortable camping. I guess I need to place another HOGS order and start again.

    Sorry for the error in your build. Good practice! Measure twice, cut once. I still screw it up.

    It’s the first step in your perfect uq protector.
    Which then will evolve into a Wookie, Sidewinder or suspended underquilt.
