Part 4 - Netting

We are now going to add the netting that the jute twine will attach to so a strong black/green net is advised as the stronger the net the longer the suit will last

For this part you need to get the volleyball/ badminton net and lay it over the back of the suit. Then cut it to the shape of the suit leaving out the arms (they get done separately) Now sew the net into place, looping the thread again to secure it in place. Also don't forget the cut a line so that the legs are separated down the middle!
Sorry about the bad picture You can just see the netting sewn on
 
Cut out some arm sections to the correct shape, they should touch each edges of the patches you made earlier and all the way up to the shoulders. Again sew them in place whilst looping the dental floss thread.

The last piece you need to cut is for the top of your shoulders. These parts should go from the top of your back netting and over your shoulders to rest on your chest (around your armpit height) and also be wide enough to touch your arm netting. Again this helps break up your figure and lets you add some twine and foliage to your suit in this area.



Now all you need to do is sew in another grid-like pattern into both the back and arm pieces to help hold the netting in the right place, without this it would pull horribly towards the ground.

Once all that is done I like to glue to netting in place around the edges and along the grid just to make sure none of the knots in the net come loose or snap.
