Length of Fabric for a DIY Baby Wrap
- 1). Lay out the piece of fabric you have for your baby wrap. Make sure it's completely flat and straight.
- 2). Place a tape measure at one end of the fabric. Ask someone to hold it for you.
- 3). Run the tape measure the entire length of the baby wrap fabric until you get to the other end.
- 4). Look at the tape measure. The baby wrap should be at least 18 feet or six yards long. However, the exact size you need depends on the size of your body. A woman larger than a size 10 will need more fabric. Add several inches per size and expect to trim the baby wrap if necessary. When in doubt, use a longer, rather than a shorter, length to ensure your baby is secure.
