    Step by step directions SLING Wash and dry all fabric 1. Fold fabric in half (print side out) length wise (to make a long rectangle). Iron and crease. 2. Measure fabric lengthwise and cut per your size. The width should be in the ballpark of 20-22 inches. 3. Print, cut out and piece together pattern. Fold fabric in half (make a smaller rectangle). Place pattern on fabric opening. Make sure it is NOT on any fold. *You will notice that the left side of fabric is 7.5 cm which is LONGER than the right side. Place the right (short) side on the fold and the Long side on the open side of fabric. Make sure that the top of the pattern is in line with the top of the fabric. Pin pattern to fabric and cut. 4. Open up ONE fold (so to make it your original long rectangle fold from step 2). On the fold/crease sew with a zig zag or overcast stitch over the edge. 5. Open up fabric completely and fold the opposite way (as in step 2 but inside out). Pin open length (a.k.a. long edge) closed. Sew closed with a straight stitch leaving a 1 inch inseam. 6. Lay your fabric out. Open up the seam that you just sewed. Place cotton cord inside the seam keeping 1 inch away from each end. 7. Pin closed tightly 8. Sew seam closed with a straight stitch. Keep cord bulge snug to the left side of your presser food to ensure a tight fit. After sewing the whole length, run the straight stitch over each end of cord to make sure that it stays put when washing. 9. Flip right side out. With a straight stitch, sew next to the cord bulge the bulge needs to stay snug to the right side of presser foot. 10. Fold fabric in half (so that all curved ends meet). Pin together and with a straight stitch sew closed with a inch inseam. 11. With a zig zag or overcast stitch, run along edge of inseam Pocket (Optional) *** In my opinion, sling is much more sleek without it. 1. Cut 2 10x10inch pieces of fabric. Sew with a straight stitch, inside outleaving approx 2 inches un-sewn (so you can turn it right side out.). 2. Turn right side out making sure to poke out corners WELL. 3. Iron. On one edge, sew with a zig zag or overcast stitch. 4. Place cloth on sling where you would like your pocket. I find it very handy NEXT to the sling seam. Pin and sew along edges with a zig zag or overcast stitch.
