Here’s a quick tip when you wash your ring sling: put a sock over the rings so that it doesn’t bang loudly in your washer & dryer. It will also give the rings and your machines some protection! Hang dry if you’re afraid of shrinkage, or if your sling’s tail is too long, dry in the dryer a bit to shorten it up!Ring slings currently on my wish list:

I never thought about doing that! It is super loud. And I never had a problemw ith shrinkage, but I'm sure it depends what kind of material your sling is made out of. Great tips!
ReplyDeleteThose are some cool ones!
ReplyDeleteGIrl you and me both! That oopa! ohhh I just wanna touch it! ;-)ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteI typically use a mesh wash bag to wash my mei tai, so the straps don't get all knotted up!! Maybe that will be a good tip for people.
Thanks for the tip!

Steph, just an FYI, you need at least 4 if not 5 yards of stretchy fabric to make your own sling. I thought 3 yards looked like a TON of fabric...no such luck, needed a lot more! I recommend getting more than you think you need and starting from there. Just thought you might like to know ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the mekko sling at nest!!
