i do mean baby wearing wraps!! was having a rant to myself as couldn't find one within my budget, even on ebay so ended up buying some material from local aberkhan for 5er, done the trick!!!!

I don't think nappy's are too expensive, unless you become addicted!!!!

I think the thing with woven wraps is that they are woven in very certain way to be able to support the weight of a baby and so there's enough stretch but too much and to make sure it's comfy on you. I'm not sure a normal length of material would cut it. It may work short term but woven wraps are pretty heavy duty and last years. If you're talking strechy that's a whole dif thing and ignore everything I've just said

What material is best to buy for making your own wrap?

Have ordered a moby but would like to try and make my own!
