Making Pocket Hammocks
Single thickness rectangle with pockets:
This works best with polyester fleece, as it gives a cosy surface that doesn't fray.
|
1. Cut the material a little more than the width you want, and just over twice the length. |
 |
|
2. Fold over and neaten the two short edges. |
|
|
3. Put the cloth on the table, right side up, and fold one short edge to just over half of the way up the cloth. |
 |
|
4. Take the other short edge and fold it down so it just overlaps the first edge. |
 |
|
5. Machine twice along each of the two raw edges. |
 |
|
6. Turn right side out and add fixings to the corners. I just pushed a skewer through the fleece and fixed on some carabiners. |
 |
|
7. Here's the result (- just a slight continuity error with the fabric). |

Double thickness rectangle with pockets:
|
This works best with polyester fleece, as it gives a cosy surface that doesn't fray. |
 |
|
1. Cut the material a little more than the width you want, and four times the length. |
 |
|
2. With the right sides together, machine across the edge opposite the fold to make a long loop. |
 |
|
3. Fold the material as shown to form four flat layers. |
 |
|
4. If you're adding hanging loops, slot them into the seams now. |
 |
|
5. Machine along the two edges, leaving a (fairly large) gap to turn it right side out through. |
 |
|
6. Turn right side out (to the middle layer), and sew up the gap. |
 |
|
7. Here's the result. |
