ring sling with overlapping pleat shoulder
Today's
message: I will be closing the store starting on the morning
of Wednesday, Nov. 25, since I won't be sewing or shipping over the US Thanksgiving
weekend (25th-29th) as we will be visiting with family. Please plan accordingly
and order earlier, or be prepared to wait a few days to order, if you will need
a sling around those times. (Closing the store basically means I will be marking
all the fabrics as "out of stock" -- they won't actually be out of stock, but
I don't wish to take orders duing that time because I hate having a backlog.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.)
If you're looking at a product and can't see any swatches, click on the color
selector for that product, pull down until you see the color you're interested
in, and then let go of the mouse button. The photo at left will change to reflect
the chosen color. If this doesn't work on your browser, please send
me an email and let me know.

Threading the sling:
First, make sure the sling is not twisted. Examine the rings to make sure they are securely sewn in each time you use the sling, as they will be holding the weight of your child.
Keeping the sling untwisted, hold the rings and pull the fabric through both of them, from the underside of the sling. |
 |
Make sure the sling fabric stays untwisted as you pull the fabric through, and try to keep the edges of the sling on the outsides. |
 |
Pull the fabric back through the bottom ring alone. This is often easier if you hold the rings apart slightly, especially if the fabric is particularly thick. You may need to pull the edges outwards a couple of times while threading. |
  |
When I'm done threading a sling this way, I take a moment to spread the fabric out in the rings, making sure the fabric doesn't overlap itself within the rings. It's much easier to adjust that way. |
  |
Threading completed. The fabric should be tight through the upper and lower rings. |
