baby sling

The Tall Short Person had a friend who had a son this weekend.  The babe is wee!  So I asked my Tall Short Person if she would like me to make her friend a baby sling or a hat.  She said both.  So I started with the sling.  I used the directions from Amanda Blake Soule's book Handmade Home. The young lady is of a height that I chose to cut the fabric 56 inches by 22 inches.  I hemmed both sides.

I folded the fabric in half longwise.  I then measured in 4 inches on the non-folded edge.

I cut a curve on that edge and then french seamed it.

That is all there is too it.  I was amazed at how simple this was to make.  Hopefully, the new momma will be pleased.  I still have a hat to make!
