How I can make my own Baby Wrap

It’s with the same cross twill that we make your linen Baby Wraps and linen Slings.

The Baby Wraps and lengths of cloth cut to order come from the same rolls of material we work with as our customer orders come in.

Our cross twill is as solid as our pure cotton and our bamboo, and is ideally suited to carrying babies. Its high ratio of linen also makes it strong enough to carry toddlers of 15 kilos (33 pounds) and more. And don’t think it’s too rough for the delicate skins of babies – we’ve combined linen with 50 percent of our renowned Organic Combed Cotton for extra smoothness and flexibility.

If you or someone you know has some sewing skills, we’d encourage you to make your own Baby Wrap for the simple reason that it’ll give you so much more personal pleasure when you finally carry your baby in it.

Once you’ve decided to get sewing, you’ll find there are a number of extremely well-made tutorials on the internet – some of them based on actual Colimaçon material!

We can’t give you the whole list here because new tutorials are constantly being posted online. If you want more specific advice on your project you’re welcome to contact us, preferably by phone
