Hammock for summer cottages, manufacturing instructions

How to make a beautiful hammock - Use a pair of contrasting fabrics on both front sides.

To create a double-sided hammock for a summer residence, we need a number of tools and materials:

• a piece of fabric for the wrong side (Color 1: 200 × 90 cm) and for the front (Color 2: 212 × 90 cm) fabric;
• two ribbons of dense fabric to match (90 × 13 cm);
• twenty identical rectangles from the main fabric (18 × 11 cm);
• durable cord (linen);
• two slatted bars 90 cm;
• sewing machine;
• scissors;
• needle;
• gluey "cobweb";
• threads to match;
• drill;
• pencil.

With a pencil on both slatted blanks, we make markings in increments of 8.5 cm. The indents from both edges should be 2.5 cm, in total there should be nine marks.

Drill holes at the marked points.

We sew loops from rectangular blanks, folds on each side by half a centimeter.

We continue to answer the question about how to make a hammock with your own hands... From the cut of the second fabric, in this case, orange, we make a base blank. We bend around the edges two times, first by one centimeter, then by five. We sew each hem separately on a typewriter.

We fold the blanks from the main fabric in half, distribute them at equal distances over the orange canvas, sweep them in, and then attach them with a cross. see picture. If you are concerned about the question, how to sew a hammock with a large element of strength, then when working, choose fabrics and threads of increased density.

How to sew a hammock not only convenient, but also beautiful, use the applique option. Select a picture from the main fabric, cut it out. Using the "spider web" we fix the applique on the orange canvas.

We connect both prepared fabrics of fabric and sweep, with the wrong side inward, bend two and a half centimeters along the edges. On the end part, with loops, we place ribbons of orange fabric, sweep and sew.

Hammock for a summer residence almost ready, it remains to connect the bar and the fabric base with a rope. We pass the rope through the holes in the wooden block, then we pass it through the loop. Further, when threading the rope through the holes of the bar and fabric, leave the same rope loops, not less than one hundred and fifty centimeters. Perform work on a level surface. When all the rope loops are laid out, we begin to tie them.

The rope loops are collected in one train, with the free end of the rope we tie them together at a distance of about fifty centimeters from the bar. Hammock for a summer residence must be strong, so we braid the knot additionally.

Congratulations! Now you know for sure how to make a hammock with your own hands!
