I absolutely love my baby wrap, and I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my baby wrap. Everywhere I go, people ask me where I got it and they're shocked when I tell them that I made it. Then when I tell them how I did it, they gasp. This is the easiest thing to do. The best part is that these are surprisingly comfortable for both baby and mommy. I have tried other baby carriers and they just don't compare. When I need to run a lot of errands, I tie this on before I leave the house and I can go all day without pain. The babies love being close to mommy and it's very calming. My little girl sleeps extremely well when wrapped up.Here's how you make it:
- Buy 6 yards of jersey (t shirt) fabric. You buy jersey because it's stretchy, it breathes well, and it doesn't fray. You buy 6 yards because once you wash it, it will shrink a little bit and may make it hard to tie it in front. You can always cut away excess later.
- This fabric should be 60" wide. Cut the fabric lengthwise every 20" and that's it. Simple enough. This will give you three wraps which makes it a great gift idea.
Here is a video tutorial which shows my preferred method of wrapping, but there are several different ways to wrap your baby and you can find them on youtube.

I a tad jealous that there are so many new inventions for today's moms. I know I would have loved using this, better than what I did use.
I found this post on Pinterest and I'm due with our first baby in July. I've been wanting a baby wrap, but all the ones in the store are so expensive! This is one I could make! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing how to do this, I currently own a baby bjorn and it hurts my back sooo bad after just an hour of holding baby. Do you know what the weight capacity for this is?
