if you use cotton jersey you (or your dh) won't have to sew a stitch - it kind of curls up at the edges and doesn't fray, so all you'll need is scissors. i can't recall the exact width of the fabric i bought but all i did was cut it straight up the middle to make two hab-style wraps. it was so easy and it was also handy to have one for the car and one for home. think it cost me $12 for the 4 metres i bought, well worth it!
