My dd is so excited about the new baby - and really wants to carry her baby doll in a sling. Does anyone have any idea about where to buy or how to make one?

That is a great idea!
Maybe Michele could give us a simplified version of her sling pattern for moms?????

Buy one from Julie Howard, a Catholic homeschooler, at

Julie's Stuff!

I bought three for Christmas for my little girls and they love them.

Oh yeah and this would be super simple to make. It's a piece of cloth and 2 rings.

My friend made one for my dd -- just two pieces of fleece sewn together in a tube shape but with a baggier bit in the middle to accommodate the dolly (or, in our case, the bunny ) then worn over one shoulder.

Another place to buy cute baby doll slings is

www.peapods.com. The business was started and is run by a local homeschooling mother of three. They also have beautiful wooden toys.

Thanks for all the ideas. Julie's stuff looks like a promising one though is out of stock. The others seem to be only for girls up to 6 years old. My dd is 10 (and still playing with all kinds of dolls!)

I didn't know the doll slings only went up to age 6. Good to know.

If your daughter is 10 maybe you could just get her a regular grown-up one. I bet you could find one used on-line or at a garage sale. Or maybe you could share yours!!
