Hello,

I am looking for any helpful info on making your own sling. Does anyone out there have a paticular pattern or type they prefer and thought was fairly easy to sew. I have only a little experience with sewing so I don't want anything too difficult.

Also, any suggestions on rings to use and where I could buy them? I think I need a larger ring since the fabric I'm using is going to be thick for warmth.

My daughter and I are traveling to Germany and I want to keep her bundled next to me in a warm fabric. I think a 2 1/2 or probably a 3" ring is what I need.

Any suggestions or websites to find the info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
