Ring sling sewing tutorial and giveaway

Having a baby carrier is a great tool for getting things done in spite of a baby that wants to be held 24/7. 


There are different kinds of carriers, each with their own advantages. My two favorites are ring slings, and the K'tan carrier (like a wrap, but much easier to use). 

My girls love holding the baby, which is a great help to me. When Chloe was a baby, I bought Miriam the smallest size K'tan, which worked well for her. She is now using it for Peter. Becca has been asking to have her own carrier as well, but even the smallest K'tan is still too large on her as she is petite for her age. 

I had the idea to make her a sized-down ring sling instead. Becca loves it, as does Peter.

Ring slings are very easy to make, even for adults. Here is a tutorial on how to make a ring sling (adult or child size):



I had extra fabric from making Becca's sling that I used for the sling in the tutorial. I am giving away this extra child-size sling. Please do not enter if you don't have a child that could use this, unless you are a tiny adult with a tiny baby.

I assume no liability for use of the sling. Children should be closely supervised while holding a baby.
