Since the post sharing a page from B's scrapbook, I've had several people ask me about the wrap picture. Two of whom were shocked to see me baby wearing. I promise I haven't turned into a breast feeding, baby wearing hippie. Even though I'm breast feeding, baby wearing, and wearing hippie looking headbands.
Ahem.
Back to the wraps.
I know it looks like a Moby but given our new financial state you know R isn't letting me buy one of those things (oh but I tried, I really did!).
I did have enough budget money to make a couple wraps though.
Here's what I did- (I promise you can do it too. All you need is fabric and a pair of scissors!)
Purchase 5-6 yards of jersey knit fabric (might be called t-shirt knit, jersey knit, stretchy knit). This stuff goes on sale ALL the time. I got mine for $2.50/yard and purchased 5.5 yards (I'm 5'10" tall).
Next I used sheers to cut the fabric in half length wise.
And that's it! For less than $15 you have two baby wraps!
You don't need to do any sewing but if I had a serger (please, Santa?) I might have serged the edges in a contrasting color.
Who am I kidding? I wouldn't have found time to do that. But you might want to!
Happy baby wearing, hippie friends!
