Sling with rings is one of the most common and comfortable models of sling. And it's not necessary to buy it in the store, because it's very easy to make such a sling!
How to sew sling with rings?
In order to make a sling with the rings with your own hands, it is necessary:
- The fabric is 2-2.5 meters long and about 0.8 meters wide.
- Two rings with a diameter of 60-70 mm.
When choosing a fabric, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
- It should not slide, otherwise the fastening will not be reliable;
- The fabric should not extend along, but it can stretch a little across;
- because both the face and the underside will be seen, it is better to choose a two-sided option;
- soft material will not rub the delicate skin of the baby;
- and, of course, the color and pattern are chosen to their own taste.
Rings are better to take the metal, so that they surely withstand the weight of the baby.
When the fabric is selected, it is necessary to cut the rectangle of the given sizes and process 3 sides: 2 long and one short. The rough end is to be threaded into both rings, tucked and secured securely to the canvas so that the rings are in a loop of fabric. It is more reasonable to sew the end either very close (about 5 cm), or vice versa far (15-20 cm) from the rings, so that the seam does not fall and does not rub his shoulder.
It will be more careful to look, if before putting the cloth in the ring, put the end in harmony or in some other way. Then the folds will be smooth and evenly distributed on the shoulder.
How to make a sling with rings?
If there is no time or desire to sew, then you can make sling with rings yourself from the materials at hand. The hardest thing is to get the right rings, and how to tie the sling with the rings so that the joints are secure without seams, is not such a big problem. As a fabric, a scarf or shawl of the required length (2-2.5 meters) will suit.
The difference is that the rings are not sewn tightly, and one end is threaded into both rings in one direction and one far in the other. Sling dresses so that the rings are in front, and the short end lay on his shoulder and was thrown behind his back. Then, under the weight of the child, the attachment will be securely held without stitching.
The child in the sling , made by mother's hands, will surely be warm and comfortable.
