Hey All!

Loaned a homemde Speer type hammock to friends, got it back with tear. It starts right from the edge, goes through the velcro strip for the bug netting and about an inch down.

I gave the hammock a test run, got in took a nap no problems, but getting out the material rip (that's why it's now an inch long). Suppose stress/weight of me getting out right at the tear was the problem.

I want to sew it but I have had bad luck repairing tents in the past...

So, how would you all go about fixing it?

Thanks

Robi
