A Simple, Unpadded Native-style baby pouch ( or sling )

Step 5 Step 5 : Making the curve

To make the pouch sling truly pouch-like, you need to cut a curve into the unfinished edges:

The lengthwise fold should be the measurement you took (plus the seam and baby allowance), and the unfinished edge, once cut, should be about 3" shorter than that.

Note that the curve straightens out as it approaches the unfinished edge. This will make hemming the edges a lot easier; I would recommend having a straight section about 1.5" long to accommodate a 3/4" rolled hem.
