How Do You Make A Baby Wallaby Sling?
A wallaby sling is a commercial product used to carry your baby in a fabric pouch. The sling fits over your shoulder and across your body, while your baby is cradled inside. A wallaby sling makes it easy to carry your baby hands-free and is comfortable for both of you. However, it can be expensive and you are limited in fabric choices. Luckily, you can make your own baby sling at home for little money, little effort and in your choice of fabric. Choose a fabric that is 97 percent cotton and 3 percent spandex (such as Lycra). Avoid quilting fabrics, since the material is not strong enough. Wash your fabric before beginning. Cut your fabric using fabric scissors so that you have a piece of fabric that is 72 inches long and 22 inches wide. Fold the fabric in half along the length. Then fold it over to the right, so that all four of the open corners are together at the upper right. Measure yourself from hip to shoulder using a flexible measuring tape. Add a 1/2 inch to this measurement. Me
