My DIY Osnaburg Wrap baby carrier


It's been a couple months since I did this project, and I've been too busy to start my blog. But here we go.
We started with 7 yards of osnaburg, (if I had to go back, I would have gotten 8 and trimmed, but I like really really long wraps. 
Prewash in hot water.
I hung to dry. 
I then used Dylon dye in purple and pink and did a gradual dye from top rail to bottom rail by immersing different parts of wrap in dye at different lengths of time.

Wash per Dylons instructions.
I then dried the fabric and hemmed it! (I hemmed it by hand at first and went back later and hemmed with a sewing machine as mine was broken at the time)

And proceeded to wrap my little bug up. 
(Note: I was just beginning back carries in this photo.)
