After a couple “MYOG” (make your own gear) projects that I use camping/backpacking, I decided I wanted to sew a hammock in 2015.

Unexpectedly, my 2 young daughters LOVED that hammock.

I was so honored and proud that I wanted to make hammocks for others to enjoy too!

When I give them as gifts, I give folks a homemade hammock; homemade stuff sack; and polyester webbing to suspend the hammock from trees. I’ve bought my materials from ripstopbytheroll and used their free online tutorial video to learn how to sew the hammocks. Below are pictures of all the hammocks I’ve made for family and friends (newest photos at the top):

Hammock #9. Foliage green 1.9oz/yd2 ripstop picked out as a gift for some vegan family members.
