Baby Sling

My sister made a sling for me when Pigg#2 was born.  I used it a lot as I went to parks and other places with Pigg#1.  But I decided it was bit too big for me since I always felt like I still needed to be holding up the baby even though she was in the sling.  My hands weren't completely free.
 Instead of just taking in the one my sister made, I decided to make a new one in more 'boy' colors.  The other one was a daisy print.
 I really struggled with what fabric to use because all the cuts of fabric I bought were too small to get the whole sling out of comfortably.
 I ended up having to piece it together using white fabric on the top where my shoulder goes, along the edge, and all on the inside to line it.
I've already used it a few times and other than being a bit hot (since it's two layers of fabric instead of one) it seems to fit better and is more comfortable on my back.  I'm glad I made it.

  1. Can we see pic of you wearing it? I got one from one of my friends and I'm just not sure about it... but it's probably because I still have this big belly in the way and so I can't really try it on.
