In this guide you will find the steps to repair a Brazilian Hammock. The purpose of this guide is to restore the durability of the hammock by sewing on a patch. The guide demonstrates the repair using hand stitching.
If you would like to reinforce the rip before placing the patching and have access to a sewing machine, follow this guide for creating a Zig Zag Patch. After creating the zig zag patch, place the fabric patch over it for a smoother feel and nicer appearance. We also recommend reinforcing the rip on both sides of the hammock.
