Sewing the Canvas - part 1: Making a Canvas Navy Hammock (aka sailors hammock)
The canvas hammock was used by sailors for centuries. They are my favorite type of hammock with a long tradition.

If you find that your single hem is in danger of fraying, you could paint the edge with a fabric glue to help hold the threads.

@@natelarge I made one I used a sewing awl A friend of mine gave me a 1950's Atlas machine The store that repaired a wire said that was powerful enough to work But, didn't want to take a chance Plus trying to move that much of a heavy canvas was a chore Got my canvas from BIGDUCK canvas
In your video of cutting the fabric for your replicate US Navy hammock, at the 1:42 mark, a popup says "Video shows me cutting too much off of my triangles" If this is the case, just how much should have been cut off? I am gathering materials to recreate this hammock myself, and would like to avoid the mistakes you may have made. Thanks for sharing you tutorial. I enjoyed it. I already made the 2 clews and can't wait to finish the hammock and relive MY navy days.
My #4 cotton duck is due to arrive today. I am wondering whether your length edge ever started to unravel and if so, how you handled it.
can i use a other color thread on the back like 2 needle stitchingand btw i have all the time of the world for this work as i am♿and not working anymore🤗

You’re a brave soul. I would love to buy a boat however I’m the only one responsible in my home that realizes one must know everything about everything regarding the boat first.
