By the way
Pockets can be beat by adding Ryushi, appliqués, decor to them. If the cropped "firm" is worn, for the "rings of the mount" you can use a braid in several additions. Jeans can not sew the belt side, then the spacious pockets for storing accessories hammock.
Jeans are rejected and distribute according to the scheme: 1 and 4, 2 and 5, 3 and 6. If possible, so that the models of the same color are not near
Choose the shortest jeans, cut the muffled bottom edge on both pants. Then also cut the binder from their "pairs".
Sew the lower edge of the cropped jeans in a circle.
Measure the length of the details obtained from two pairs. Measure the belt from the belt to the belt of others, at the outer edge. The remaining jeans cut off, focusing on the length of the detail. Sew all couples.
Holes between the pants of each detail close the inserts. To do this, you need to carve 6 "patches" (see Figure) from additional tissue and sew them from the top and bottom side of jeans.
Sew the sides of the jeans on the hands of the jack. Do not overlap the pants to each other, otherwise then when working with a braid, the sewing machine "will not take them."
Remove the rear pockets from jeans. If the jeans of the classic model, it turns out 6 pockets on each side of the hammock. Duplicate each pocket to a detail from another fabric.
Sust in pairwise details of pockets, inserting the segments of the braid (10 cm). Then strengthen the ends of the braid on the side sides of the hammock.
Make 2 "mounting rings" from cut in the second step "Bearings". To do this, fold the part in half the "eight" and cut it with a cloth.
Sew the bracket to the hammock, by connecting the side seams of jeans. Thus, the central part of the braid will have to the jack between jeans. Send the braid with two seams (first one edge, then - the other. Start from the middle of the lower side of the hammock. Put the jeans to the belt, skip the bracket through the "Ring of fasteners", leave 1 meter of the braid is unsuccessful. Next, continue to sew the bracket to the seam from the top side of the hammock , Skip the braid through the second "fastening ring", also retreating 1 meter, enter to the seam from the bottom side of the hammock when you reach the middle, cut the bracket. Similarly, make a second seam on the braid).
Surf to the side edges of the hammock. Act an algorithm (strengthen the end of the braid on the bottom side of the jeans belt, then to the tape through the "Ring of the mount" located on this side, step back to the appropriate length of the braid (this segment will already be more than a meter. The length of the free segment of the braid can be defined by the eye: for this Take a hammock, pull the "Ring of the mount", to thread the sewn item into it and measure it). Sweep the bridge to the edge from the upper side of the hammock, closing the sewn ends from the pockets in the process. Return the same length of the braid, like from the opposite side, cut off , the remaining poultails to the hammock, make a second seam on the bracket. Also, we are tested to the second side of the hammock. Additionally, we adheres to the middle of each belt, which makes the braid through the "fastening rings" and retreating as in the previous steps). Make several seams across the rigorous loop at the very edge of the hammock. Then retreat 5 cm towards the "fastening rings" and shoot a few more times - back. It turns out a loop for a cutting.
Drill at the ends of the cuttings by the hole - only four. Insert the cuttings in the loop of the braid. Watch up the hammock, the extreme ribbons tie with a strong rope, which will be done into the holes on the cuttings.
Hammak ready! If necessary, the ropes can be untied, remove the cuttings and wash the hammock in the washing machine.
