    You talking about this one, right?

    I made mine off of that article. I hung my hammock, filled it with weight and and hung and clipped and pinned my material making the pattern as I went. Would be good to do that with a cheap cotton from a dollar bin at a fabric shop.

    You could try starting with the KAQ pattern and just modify it to fit your needs.

    shug, may I ask ,how deep were the no/seeum baffles? do they taper down side to side and end to end ? Are they cut with big radis ? also did you go with the 4 oz. of down?

    I filled my hammock with weight to about 100lbs and took my inner fabric and fitted a bathtub type inner shell...lots of darts. My outer shell was looser to not compress the down. 4" baffles as this was my winter UQ. They ended up tapering some in the stitching process. Used around 16 to 18 ozs of down.
    The channel that goes through the inner shell is tricky ... DO NOT SEW THROUGH IT WHEN SEWING THE BAFFLES!... it really does keep the UQ snug against the hammock and eliminated the worry of gaps or cold spots. I thought it worth the extra work.

    WOW! you realy pumped up the loft ! would you say that roughly ,the outside measures similar to the KAQ ? to be honest the more I learn about making my own the better buying one looks .Not that I am afraid of sewing
    but it does have me going back and forth ....i Like your onion phrase ,I picture a good quilt having tapered double curved baffles ,not unlike a segment of an onion !
    the Speer looks like orange segments which way to go ,fruits or vegetables ? I think just being transverse ,the compound radis of this hammock would be less of a handfull to feed through a sewing machine.with less chance of compouding errors .
