DIY Baby Sling

I won't have much time for crafting since my little baby girl, Leah, finally decided to make an appearance last week, but I wanted to show off what I made for her.  I used a combination of the tutorial found here on Babymoon Boutique along with instructions found here on the Maya Wrap website to make my own ring sling for a total cost of about $20.00.  Sure beats the $75.00 that you would pay to buy a real one!  It was pretty easy to make, and it works great!  I am definitely going to need it since little missy weighed in at just over 11 lbs at birth!

I used a linen-like fabric since I liked it so much when I made aprons.  The rings that I used were 2" welded steel rings from the hardware store.  Bigger rings would probably have made it easier to adjust, but 2" was all they had.

Now if only I could convince my kids that the baby in the sling is indeed Leah and not a new baby in my tummy!  Ha ha!
