A one-piece load line pocket (30) is disclosed for a hot air balloon (10). The load line pocket comprises an elongate fabric tape having a pair of opposing, longitudinally extending shoulders (31, 32). One of the pair of shoulders is adapted to be placed in overlapping relation, respectively, with an adjacent balloon envelope gore (24) and stitched thereto. The gores (24) are secured together in closely adjacent relation to each other but free of any direct interconnection therebetween. The tape also has a longitudinally extending, tubular pocket (34) intermediate to and integrally formed with the pair of shoulders (31, 32) for freely enclosing a load line (18)which extends from the top to the bottom of the balloon envelope (11) for supporting a balloon carriage (16).
