Babywearing has numerous benefits, and fortunately, there are hundreds of wonderful carriers on the market. There are many reasons to choose to Do It Yourself, though. Whether it’s from a budget standpoint, being able to design the “perfect” carrier for yourself, or simply a love of sewing, DIY is a great option. There are many different options based on personal preference, sewing skill level, and baby’s age. <p dir="ltr">Feel free to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/247329292025830/" target="_blank" title="DIY Babywearing on Facebook">join us on Facebook</a> to ask questions, make suggestions and enjoy other people’s creations as well as sharing your own!</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <blockquote> <p dir="ltr">Safety Reminder: While we have done our best to compile the clearest, most thorough database of DIY Babywearing safety information, you are liable for whatever you create. We endeavor to give the clearest instructions and always err far on the side of caution, but it is up to you to make and use your carrier safely. Be sure to inspect your DIY carriers thoroughly before every use, and do not use a carrier you do not feel confident in. It is always a good idea to learn to use your carrier with the help of an official BWI Group. Search <a href="http://babywearinginternational.org/about-bwi/chapters/" target="_blank">their website</a> to find a local group. If there are no groups local to you, you can also join a group on Facebook, whether it is a nearby BWI Group or a global group like Everyday Babywearing, and post a picture for a “fit check.” Be sure to always follow the [[TicksRules][TICKS rules]] for safe babywearing.</p> </blockquote> | *General Babywearing FAQ* | <p dir="ltr"> [[TicksRules][TICKS Rules for Safe Babywearing]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[CarrierTypes][The Different Types of Carriers]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[BackCarries][Can I wear baby on my back?]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[BabywearingAbbreviations][Common Abbreviations & Lingo]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[WrapCarries][List of Woven Wrap Carries by Size]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> | | *DIY Babywearing FAQ* | <p dir="ltr"> *About Materials:* </p> <p dir="ltr"> [[SafeFabric][Selecting a Safe Fabric for Wraps, Slings or Other Carriers]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[WaterFabric][Selecting a Safe Fabric for Water Use]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[SlingRings][Rings for Ring Slings, Onbus, and more]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[FabricStretch][Can My Fabric Stretch?]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[MaterialsSources][Where can I buy fabric/buckles/slingrings?]] (organized by country)</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> *About Construction:* </p> <p dir="ltr"> [[GeneralConstruction][General Sewing Safety Info]] (reinforcing stitches, thread, body panels, etc)</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[WidthsLengths][Carrier Widths/Lengths<br />]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[WrapTapers][Tapering a Wrap]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[SafeDyes][What kind of dyes are safe to use?]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> *Misc FAQs:* </p> <p dir="ltr"> [[TableclothBabywearing][Tablecloth Babywearing]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[ForSale][Can I sell my creations?]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[NoSew][What can I make without a sewing machine?]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> | | *Tutorials & Patterns* | <p dir="ltr"> *Wraps and Slings:* </p> <p dir="ltr"> [[WovenWrap][Woven Wrap]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[RingSling][Ring Sling]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[NosewRingsling][No Sew Ring Sling]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[WaterSling][Water Ring Sling]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[PouchSling][Pouch Sling]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[StretchyWrap][Stretchy Wrap]] (Regular & Water Use)</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[TshirtCarrier][“T-shirt” Carrier (Stretchy Loop Carrier)]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> *Asian Style Carriers:* </p> <p dir="ltr"> [[MeiTai][Mei Tai]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[TraditionalOnbu][Onbuhimo]] (Onbu)</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[ReverseOnbu][Reverse Onbuhimo]] (Ruck-bu)</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[XBu][X-bu]] (X-onbu, blanketless onbuhimo)</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[PodaegiCarrier][Podaegi]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> *Buckle Carriers:* </p> <p dir="ltr"> [[BuckleCarrier][Soft Structured Carrier]] (Full Buckle Carrier)</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[BuckleBu][Buckle-Bu]] (Buckle Onbuhimo)</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> *Other Tutorials:* </p> <p dir="ltr"> [[BabywearingAccessories][Accessories (hip pouches, suck pads, etc.)]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> [[DollCarriers][Doll Carriers for Children]]</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> |
