    What fabric for a no sew wrap??

    Hi,

    I am wanting to buy some fabric to make a no sew baby wrap (like a HAB) but I dont know what to get? I looked at getting some stretch jersey knit but now Im having second thoughts if this is what I am supposed to get.

    PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Hoping this is in the right section - could go in the craft section too.

    yes i got cotton jersey too, from a discount fabric shop. it is slightly stretchy. i bought 4 metres and it was so wide i just cut it straight up the middle and got two HABs out of it. Loved them and wore them all the time! The only thing I'll do differently if I use it again is to trim the ends down a bit so they don't have the full width of the fabric - the knot at the back was quite bulky. This style of wrap is fantastic - enjoy!
