I made a wrap!

cannuke · 07-30-2005, 01:04 PM

My favorite fabric store was going out of business

, but I managed to get some really good deals on fabric

.

I got some suiting fabric that's made of linen and made a wrap. It's 25 inches wide by 5 yards long. My worry now is that it won't fit. I tried it on (using one of my dolls!

) and almost couldn't get it done up.

That's because of my big pregnant belly, right? Please tell me that it's not too small!

Yay! Congratulations. Wraps are wonderful. And it will fit just fine once your replace the belly with the baby.

That's so cool that you made a wrap! I've been thinking about doing that. Can you explain how you made yours? It seems like it would be pretty simple, but I'm just wondering what you did. I can only sew a straight line with my sewing machine so if that is all it involves then I'm good to go!

It was SO easy! Check out these instructions.

The fabric that I bought was 60 inches wide and I bought a little over 5 yards (4.5m) of it. You just cut it lengthwise down the middle so you have two pieces that are each 5 yards long by 30 inches wide (bonus: you get 2 wraps out of that width fabric!). Then you hem all four sides. The first one that I made, I did a 1 inch hem (fold, press, fold again, press again, then stitch). For the second one, I got smart and borrowed a friend's serger!

Way easier and faster!

In the end, you basically have a big long scarf that you wrap around you and baby!

Thanks! I think I just might go to the fabric store this weekend... like I need another way to carry my baby!

It's so fun, though!
