Tucking my Aero Evolution Saddle

I bought this saddle last year from a member here. It was a large but I figured it would be more comfortable. The first time I hunted with it the aluminum cat paws dug into my ribs and caused pain. Cat paws are the aluminum attachment poins fastened to the bridge, waist belt and leg straps. They look like cat footprints, hence cat paws. I thought about selling it and trying to buy a smaller Evo but figured I would probably lose about a hundred on the turnarond. So what does one do when the clothes they are wearing are too big? Tuck them, of course. :D A vertical fold down the middle, sewn and a horizontal fold down the middle, sewn and it fits me well. I did this about 6 months ago but was too chicken to post it until now. I used a Harbor Freight clone of the Speedy Stitcher since at that time I had not bought my first sewing machine yet. :D I used the polyester thread that came with the hand stitcher. It is not life support so good enough. Here is a picture.
 
Thanks. I haven't had it in a tree yet but I have hung from it indoors from my pullup bar.
 
Yeah I’ve done that a few times form the pillar in my basement. I don’t have trees lol sucks I live in town. Usually climb the light pole.
