Ouch!

See that pretty girl? She hurt her arm the other day.
Arm Sling

So, naturally, being the great auntie that I am, I sewed her up a sling last night. I didn't know what I was doing. I consulted my husband, cut up some fabric, and sewed her a sling. The only tricky thing is that I was sewing for a little girl who was asleep. In another house. And so since I had no measurements, I needed to make something adjustable.

If you know how to sew bags, you will probably be able to figure out my simple drawing below:

I forgot to draw the bias tape that I used to bind the cuff. If anyone is interested, I might make a tutorial in the future. There are a few things I would do a little differently if I had to make this again, but overall I am happy with it. And so is my niece. And that's really all that matters.

  1. Put it on YouTube! Or if I need a sling one day, I'll ask you to sew me one...a Ninja Turtles one.

    I hope your niece is okay :)

  2. Ninja Turtles! Yeah, hopefully you don't get hurt, but if you do, hit me up. Vel has my number. :)

    My niece is all better now. Thanks.
