I want one!

I want one of those baby sling/wraps, DD has many days where she just does not want to be put down to play by herself. and even when out she's not always happy in the pram so I often end up carrying her and pushing the pram.
I have a sling, but it's too small. I have a carrier but it doesnt seem like it will hold her for much longer and I hate all the buckles.
I have done a bit of research, and the style I love is on ebay called the 'moby sling'
I've bidded on a few but Im always outbidded at the last second!
So then I got thinking.. it is just a big long peice of fabric! I could just make it myself!
So does anybody have one? .. I'd love to know..

• What kind of fabric is used?
• Do you know the measurments for them?
• Has anybody made them?

Thanks! :D:D

I haven't made one myself but I know that quite a few BBers have made their own. I think there are a few threads around on them.
If you google "make your own baby sling" or something along those lines HEAPS of links come up with all different tutes! Hth!

Thanks :)
Just had a big browse around google.. seems to be just a 4.5metre length by 20 inch..
And to use cotton Jersey. Seems simple enough :)

I have made two - one for me and one for another BBer. It's just cotton jersey. Buy 5m, and cut it in half lengthways. You'll get two. I got adventurous and started adding pockets and applique and stuff for a bit of fun. Too easy
:D

thanks, I wad expecting I would need to hem it, but wow, just so easy!

Yay! Made it yesterday and boy.. it is a lifesaver! I managed to do the washing today (a first) and dd was so happy in it that she fell asleep! So happy, Thanks girls :)

That's great that your little princess is loving it and that you can get things done. Xx
