You’ve probably gotten your kit already as Jenny Jardine ships them out very fast. Yes, instructions were included. I found the 1 ounce military nylon a bit harder to use than the usual 1.1 ounce ripstock normally supplied, but I do love the colour. I made an economy deluxe single, but was supplied with enough fabric and insulation that I could have made a double athough this probably varies. Prevously when I made a double with split zip, I cut it differently than instructed and was very pleased with the result. While I’m not sure if I can explain it clearly, I cut the inner and outer nylon of the top piece (‘above the split zip’) out of one piece of goods, using the ‘fold’ as a seamless zipper baffle. Likewise I cut the inner and outer nylon of the bottom piece ( ‘below the splt zip’) out of one piece of goods, using the ‘fold’ as a more finished looking edge to the zipper. There was some math to compensate for the longer allowance of the seamless baffle. This came out great…Ironically I date a guy who works at Feathered Friends and who not only has beautiful down, but could likely get me a deal on those fabulous down bags: since I am a novice (aspiring) distance hiker planning a 500 mile (WA section of the PCT) hike, I feel safer with synthetic insulation. ps I was only able to cut it this way as the fabric supplied was wide enough for my personalized width.
