I am trying to make my sister a sling using the Elizabeth Lee sling pattern. I made a bunch of them a few years ago but right now the pattern is in storage. What I can't remember is how the pillowed/ring end starts. How to make the pillow pocket?   Does that make sense? Thanks for any help I have left myself with a short time to do it in Annie

Annie,

I don't have the ELD sling pattern so I'm not sure what you mean but here are some links that might be helpful:

Jan's instructions at sleepingbaby.net are really great!

I also like www.slingmemommy.com Her gathered shoulder style is SO easy to make and really comfy. I find the unpadded styles more comfortable and easier to make than the padded ones.

I would also recommend this site www.slingrings.com for aluminum rings. All of her rings are weight tested for use as a baby carrier, and they come in nice colors as well.

Sorry I can't help with your specific pattern question.
