How to make a baby doll sling

Supplies: 

Fabric- 55 inches by 32 inches ( I used a light weight cotton)

Coordinating thread

Two large binder clips

Sewing machine

Iron

Starch (opitional- makes sewing straight lines easier)

Ironing board

1. Iron your fabric to make it easier to work with.

2. Fold over twice, so all raw edges are tucked inside, and hem all 4 sides. I folded over 1/2 inch and starched and ironed and then folded another 1/2 inch and starched and ironed, repeating on all 4 sides. Sew a straight line to hem all edges.

3. Fold one end up 2 1/2 inches, on the long side of the fabric, starch and iron. Then, sew straight across to make the pocket for your binder clips.

4. Open up your binder clips and feed the fabric through. Both binder clips goes into the same pocket, just like you would see on a ring sling.

**Do NOT use for human babies or animals. This is intended to be a toy for baby dolls and stuffed animals!**

My New Obsession



Yellow Squash

Doughnut

I have discovered a new and productive hobby, at least if you have a little girl. I have been making play food out of felt! It is pretty easy and fun. I have been sitting in the chair at night and sewing play food while watching t.v. Most of the stitching is done by hand.



Lemon slice

I have found resources all over Pinterest . Some of the foods are freehand and a few I found tips and patterns for.  I really love all the tutorials that are on Helping Little Hands Blog. 


My favorite- Bag of Chips! I love how this turned out!

Cupcake- could use some tweaking.

Ice Cream Cone



Strawberries

Fried Egg
