Does anyone know where I could find a sewing pattern for a baby-sling? -The kind where Mama can loop it over her and baby can lay in it close to Mama's breasts and be held hands free and still have the body contact they need? I want to make one as a present for my friend who is having a little boy very soon.
Do you want a ring sling? You can make one without sewing. http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/no_sew.html
that is an awesome find! We found a pattern and sewed and sewed and sewed a sling for my daughter.... it was a pain!! I think I used it maybe twice because it was quite cumbersome! Something like this would have been much better!
I know this is an older post, but it's worth adding links to. I hve been searching for baby wearing patterns, here's a couple of good ones I plan to try this fall. http://missmelissak.blogspot.com/2009/09/tutorial-meela-baby-carrier.html http://stilllearninglife.blogspot.com/2008/01/diy-hood-to-headrest-mei-tai-tutorial.html
