Yup, I'm a DIY-er for ring slings too. I use the Ultimate Upmama gathered shoulder, which is a floating shoulder gathered with elastic across the back.
it!
And because I do it myself, I made a gorgeous dupioni silk sling with an amazing panel of japanese quilting fabric to decorate the tail. Yum. I wish I still wore those colours.
For newbie, I plan to make a new ring sling in colours I wear now. Preferably double-layer silk. Hmm, must start saving up. And while I hemmed the previous one while in labour, I think I'd prefer to have this one done ahead of time...
