I wanted a book sling for my baby, who no, cannot read yet, but still... they are cool. I liked the size of this one, but all the reviews said the fabric was terrible. I ordered it, and yes, the fabric is indeed terrible. The picture hides it's terribleness well; it feels like it is made out of a disposable raincoat.
However, that is easily fixed.
Before:
After:
I used a home decor fabric called "Square Knots," purchased at Joann on Black Friday. So easy. The sling is just a bunch of squares sewn together. Without a baby it would have taken an hour or two. With a baby... it took several days. So it goes!

A Better Book Sling

Looks brilliant!
I have a very similar bookcase and the fabric on mine tore.
Can you share more details on how you did the sling? I have no sewing experience and I am very confused on how to achieve what you did.
Thank you
I’m sorry - it’s been years since I made this and I don’t even have it any more. I think you can take the sling apart and use the ripped fabric as a pattern. Using a sewing machine will make this much easier.
