HAMMOCK DONE!

A photo of my hammock complete.

Dying the webbing.

This was a very difficult job because the webbing was pure white and it took a lot of experimenting and time to get it a colour that suited the colour scheme my hammock was. Many times I would take it out of the dye and wash it and find that it would go a light pink even though it was a lovely plum colour in the dye bucket.

Detailed panels.

I created all the smock and attached them to a triangle panel. I then sewed anotner triangle panel on top. This is half of the process.

Final design.

The results I got from the tie dye, I love it!

Tie dye.

Sorry about the belated posts my Internet has been down! So I've tie dyed the base of my hammock but wrapping it up in a load of elastic bands. It was extremely tricky!

Commence the making!

I have began making the details for the hammock. These little triangles are made up from the smock machine ans dyed purple. I have ripped up some tent to stuff them with to create little padded cushions.

Life size paper maquette.

I created a life size paper maquette of the hammock. I roughly sketched out the design and then hung the hammock to see the illusion of what the hammock will look like. I think it looks great I can't wait to see it made now. Exciting stuff!
