Tutorial How to make your own Baby wrap aka Moby Wrap
Things you need
5-6 yards of 60" wide Jersey knit fabric
Scissors or rotary cutter
Pins(optional read below)
and of course a Baby :)
LOVE this thing it was so easy to make :) All you need is 5-6 yards of knit jersey fabric.The fabric is stretchy and does not fray when cut. You cut the fabric right down the middle and you are done. That is it, NO sewing necessary. Then you can go on You tube and find out how to wrap your baby.
Helpful hints
♥I made mine 5 yard and it was fine until I washed it and it shrunk. I can still wrap it around the back and tie it but i cant bring it back around the front and tie it .....which is totally fine but just keep that in mind if you want to be able to have the tie in front.
♥ To cut a straight line down the middle I measured 30" from the side and put pins about every 5" down the middle making a straight line of pins You can also make a line down the middle by using a ruler and a disappearing ink pin or a water soluble pencil ( totally optional). Or you can just wing it, grab your scissors and just cut down the middle.

AfteR You Cut It Down The Middle What Do You Do With The Other Half?
I used the other half to make another wrap. I actually sewed a square of fabric to the front of the second one so I had two different ones.
