Ring Sling Giveaway

I recently purchased some beautiful, natural colored, linen/rayon fabric with the intention of sewing myself a sling. Since I can easily make two slings with the fabric I have (each will be 30 inches wide), I thought it would be fun to make another to give away.

Leave me a comment to enter yourself into this giveaway, and I will randomly select the winner next Sunday evening.

The winner will get to choose the color of the rings and thread (the fabric is a neutral light tan/khaki color), and should receive their sling within a week of being chosen. You also don't have to live locally to enter -- I'll just put it in the mail.

Good luck!

PS: This type of sling could be used with a child up to about 35 pounds, so you don't have to have a tiny baby to enter.

That is so sweet! I have been needing a sling forever! i tried to make one but it I it felt flimsy so i was too scared to us it without holding onto my daughter.

I love a good sling. I just saw that the Today show is going to have a segment about those realistic babies you wrote about on your blog. I'm interested to see what they say.

P.S. I've been enjoying your food blog. Thanks!

I am Ang's sister in law and happened to find your fun blog. My new baby is 4 weeks now. I am not in love with my baby bjorn and have wanted to try a sling. How fun and how generous to do a giveaway!

p.s. I so wanted to try to go natural with this baby- but chickened out. That is awesome you are a doula. Maybe if I could have discovered your blog sooner, I could have prepared better :)

I would to love to have a sling! I think that it would be great, my two year old is always wanting to be held and I think that would take some of the weight off of my back. Also, I could always use when I have a third baby!

Happy! The first time I stumble across your blog and there is a giveaway...and it is for something I really need. My almost 2 year old loves to be held, especially while I am in the kitchen busy. My ergo tore during a move and I am in desperate need of a carrying device. OOOO pick me, pick me :)

I've never owned a sling and would LOVE this one.

Me, please pick me, please, pretty please.

I used a sling with Jasper and loved it. Somewhere between then and now, I lent it to a friend and it has not yet been returned, so I'd love to be entered into your giveaway contest.
