Ring Sling 02

Wear all the babies

My sister is expecting her second child soon and she asked if I could make her a ring sling so she can hold baby number two while caring for baby number one. Of course I said yes because it involved sewing something for my sister/new nephew, going to the fabric store with my sister and […]
