I've also heard they are super easy to make. And one day during soccer class a friend offered me hers to look at (that her friend had made for her) as a pattern so I could make my own.
I borrowed her Moby and made it pretty much like hers. I did this because I know it works, and works well. However- her friend sewed around the WHOLE thing. way to much unnessary work for me.
You will need:
5 yards of a stretchy fabric.
Moby's {I think} are made of 100% of cotton Jersey knit. and many websites suggest a knit type fabric.
Mine is kind of a cotton spandex blend. more on the spandex side. It's pretty thin.
I did most my research on fabrics after I bought it. why? I don't know. I think mine will be fine, although I'm slightly worried about getting hot in it. If I have problems, I will let you know.
5 yards is enough to make 3 moby's!
3!! so get some friends to go in on it with you....
cotton fabric to help support where baby will be sitting.
a fat quarter should work fine for that. (they are about 22x22 inches check and make sure)
Measurements of Moby material was 16 inches x 5 yards
Measurements of cotton material was 17 inches x 24 inches
The nice thing about my spandex material is that it doesn't fray. So I didn't have to hem 10 yards of fabric. just sew on the cotton.
I ironed down the 17" side and pinned in the middle. (1/4 inch)
folded over the the 24"inch side so that it wrapped around the moby, and pinned. (1/4 inch, fold again, 1/4 inch)
Sorry, Can you get past the wrinkles. They are pretty bad.
sew on the direct middle.
not a good example right? between my 32 week belly and an awkward doll this is what you get.
and my arms UP so you can't even see the strap.
I need to get a better picture.
also cute in blue.
