You have serious skills here, My mother is a seamstress , your sewing machine must be serious! My mother has one commercial machine that I think would sew through this material.
 
It’s finished!!!! I had to switch out the webbing for the leg straps. The brown webbing I had on was too thick to properly pass through the cobra buckles. I put on some green webbing I had, still Milspec, just a little thinner. All I need to do is add some elastic for webbing keepers on the leg straps.

That is awesome. Really nice job. Most (if not all) of my DIY projects definately look like they were pasted together. That looks commercially made. You have some skills and should be proud of that.
 
This is impressive! I'm interested to hear your take on it's comfort while hanging. Or if you feel the pattern needs adjusting at all. Top notch work
