Today I show you how to sew a gathered shoulder ring sling. Ring slings are an extremely versatile way to wear your baby or toddler and also simple to make! You do need to have a fabric with a complex weave and typically best to stay with natural fibres such as cotton or linen. 100% linen is a great choice for a first sling!! In this video my fabric has been hemmed on all edges which makes sewing the process so, so easy. If your fabric has cut edges you will need to hem the edges.

How much fabric is needed to make one of these ?

@evelyntenne8773 4 года назад

Thank you for that! You're clear and concise, but I'm missing some measurements. What width of fabric would you recommend? I've seen so many different suggestions I'm confused. I'd like to make slings from 70cm wide shawls which I'd line with flannel. Is that enough? They are over 2m long. Thank you in advance!

@KendraMakes 4 года назад

70cm should be a good width, you just want to be sure the shawls have a complex weave. Flannel generally is not recommended, similar to quilting cotton, as it can rip if it catches and you want to make sure to be using materials that will be safe for baby. You may be able to use if it is double thickness. More info on appropriate fabrics here: www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/fabric.html

@@KendraMakes Thanks so much! The article is also very helpful. I have 3 months left to experiment before becoming a grandmother, and your advice kickstarted me!

Can you tell me where you purchase your metal ring?

@lorraineduma2057 2 года назад

May have missed it. But what is the size of the rings?

@marygould8995 Год назад

Where do you purchase your rings.

We have a giant costco teddy bear that I was thinking about making into a puppet. Can you do a DIY video on how to make overly large teddy bears into puppets?

How long is the fabric

@KendraMakes 5 лет назад

This was 2 meters although sizing can be variable depending on how long you want the tail and your own size. More info on sizing here if you’re interested: www.sleepingbaby.net/size.php

@tootscarlson 3 года назад

Did you mention how many yards of fabric you have for this pattern?

@queenEsther318 3 года назад

This is an easier way to sew a sling than I have ever done it (I use pleats around the ring to add strength so there is no chance of fraying) but I usually use 2 yards of fabric. It leaves a lovely tail for most women so if they are modest and in public they can use it to cover up while feeding their precious cargo. It might help to iron a crease where you want the fabric pinned to use as a guide. Good luck!!!
