Baby Slings?
Um, mine used O-rings. G I have never seen a pattern. I did see some for
sale that a lady had made (in gorgeous batiks), and asked about it and she said she just looked at one and made up a pattern. Well, that was no help to me (or for you!). Good luck with it! I did eventually find 2 that I liked, one in a red bandana print that DH loved to wear. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Dannielle Beitzell" wrote in message ... Ok, you all know everything...I know you do so don't even try to deny it! I want to make a baby sling. I hope that someone can take me through it in baby steps, as I seem to be quite dense with this thing. I cannot find a set of directions with step by step pictures, I don't know how much or what kind of fabric and I am just wanting to make sure that it is comfy and safe. I know that it uses D-rings.

Elizabeth Lee makes good patterns! I had (might still have) some of the
patterns, including the baby sling...gotta go take a look in the pattern/fabric cabinet to see. I did pass some of the patterns on to 2 different people, but there may still be some floating around. It is a good company and the patterns are easy to follow. Larisa, NAYY Lisa C wrote: "Dannielle Beitzell" wrote in message ...

http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/sling.html These are the instructions I
used to make a sling for Meg and me to wear. That's the pattern I used for Ryan's sling too. Make sure you use a HEAVY DUTY needle. My needle broke and cracked the doohickey that turns the wabnobber. Luckily the SM was still under waranty, that could have been expensive. Emma ********************************** Time is the best teacher; unfortunately it kills all its students.

Hullo Emma
It is really a pleasure to see someone using the correct technical terms for components. This way we *all* understand what went wrong. (G) ..

Emma:
Good advice, though a tad too technical. G There are other things to consider, besides making sure the needle is heavy duty. You need to be sure you do NOT pull/push/or other wise stress the fabric so that the needle bends which of course causes the point to hit the whatchamacallit, in turn cracking that doohickey, etc. Another area of concern is using the wrong brand of needle. Do not use the Singer needle in Pfaff; they are too long for Pfaff and will cause problems that we don't even want to remember!! Save Singer needle for Singer SM. I do not know about other brand SM. A word to the wise should be sufficient?! PAT in VA/USA DavesFatChick wrote: That's the pattern I used for Ryan's sling too. Make sure you use a HEAVY DUTY needle.
