Hi! I'm really interested in a wrap style sling (like the hug a bub) and have heard they aren't too hard to make - can I get some advice from those who have made their own?!
Do you need a pattern? What material do I need to buy? Anything else I should know? Thanks guys :)
I made one. You can either buy 5 meters of material (more if your say bigger then a size 14) or 2.5 mt of a wider material & cut that in half & then join it to make the length right.
Materials, I used a cotton jersey knit, it has some stretch to it but not too much. You want a little but not alot.
If you google "how to make a wrap carrier" you should get plenty of hits. There is one site thats good, just got to remember the name.....
eta- ok google that exact phrase I mentioned & the very first site that comes up is the site I was thinking of.
Great thanks FJ!!
Also, I forgot to ask - if you make your own how do you learn how to tie them?! Lol
Same site has little videos on how to do it or get on You tube.
We have friends who made a DIY Hugabub. Their biggest piece of advice was to make sure you use really good quality, thick jersey material; theirs was fairly light and hin and it used to stretch a little bit too much.
Yay thanks guys! :)
