Folding your sling into a neat package, for storage or travel

Sling laid out, threaded, flat.
Left side folded inwards. On a 30" wide sling, the first fold will be about 10" from the edge. If you are folding a very wide sling, you will need to fold it in fifths (so, about 9" between folds).
Right side folded over
Bottom edge folded up about 1/4 the length of the sling. This will make the "pocket" the sling is folded into.
Ring end folded down to meet the top of the previous fold, again, about 1/4 the original length of the sling.
Just showing the pocket made by the bottom folded edge; you can see the edge of the tail on the upper inside of the pocket, and the part my finger is hooked into is the pouch part of the sling.
The sling is now folded in half and tucked into the pocket shown in the previous step. Voila, a neat little package ready to store. (This will, of course, leave crease marks if you store it like this for a long time, so either be prepared to iron or just don't mind the wrinkles!)
