Oohh, I'm gonna make one!!!! Will spotties have rings???

One site said polar fleece is ok, it might just stretch a little, but It wont fray, is that true? Its cool here, and gonna get COLD, a fleece one would be awesome!!!

Suse would be the one to ask. I'm pretty sure if you look thru some of the other threads here you'll find links to instructions and whatever. I got my rings from a boating and marine shop, so they're steel and a bit heavier than most, but they'll never rust or break and they were only about $4 each.
Don't get rings from spotters... they only have cr@ppy ones for handbags and they'll break and you'll drop your precious bundle!!

What did you use for rings PB?

[Pretty Butterfly]

You were right, spottie's were crap... so went to Bunnings... they had great thick rings, but they had some hook looped through... so Ad grinded the hook off with an angle grinder!!! (they weren't connected, just looped together, so no grinding was done on the ring!)

But they said one of the other hardware shops in town might sell just the rings, so I'm cheking them out tommorrow...

I would suggest caution with them PB, they may not have a load bearing capacity suitable for carrying a baby (there is a lot of strain put on both the rings and the seams). Even thick rings may not be designed for loadbearing, depending on the metal composition and of the type of join. Not to say that the ones you have will not be suitable, but my experience with Bunnings staff is that many of them wouldn't really know. Marine grade rings will be suitable, as they are designed for loadbearing, but they are much heavier than the aluminium rings designed for babywearing. Which you can get from slingrings (US site), or theweewuns in Australia.
