Place the 2 pieces of fabric right sides together. Leaving a small opening that will allow you to turn the hammock right side out, sew around the rest of the rectangle with a about a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Snip extra fabric from the corners, outside the row of stitching as shown in inset (2) to make turning the corners right side out easier. Turn hammock right side out through the opening, then hand stitch the opening closed as shown in inset (3).
