Wrap Carrier
Which fabric is better for a self made baby wrap carrier?
We are going to Orlando in the summer and it will be too hot for my cotton wrap. I was wondering if t-shirt like material would be ok. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Make a No-Sew Woven Wrap Minimize
Head to your local fabric store, or the fabric section of a department store. 
) Ask for help if you need it. You need three to five yards (9 to 15 feet) of cloth that meets these criteria:
1. Cotton or mostly cotton (You may also like a very lightweight linen or a very lightweight hemp)
2. Breathable, flexible, soft
3. Washable
4. Is at least 20 inches wide (for a lightweight gauze, 45 inches is fine!) The thinner the cloth, the wider it should be if you plant to do the Strap carry or the Rucksack — that extra width translates to shoulder padding.
5. Does not have a “wrong” side
6. Has a little diagonal “give”
7. Is neither slippery nor stretchy
8. Has a finished selvage
Look for cotton “gauzes”, crinkle cotton, and cotton “weaves”. By “gauze”, I don’t mean the stuff you wrap around an injured ankle. Gauze is fabric-store lingo for somewhat loosely woven cloth — not extremely loosely woven bandage material! These plain gauzes are perfect for everyday use around the house. Not too gorgeous, maybe, but easily washed and dried, very easy to find and very comfortable. Is crinkle cotton the same as gauze?
Some gauzes are also crinkles. Most crinkles are also gauzes. I specifically use the term crinkle cotton for cotton gauzes which are wrinkled in long longitudinal lines. This makes a lovely drapey effect when worn as a wrap.

Fabric choices for sewn wraps are the same as for no-sew wraps with one exception. Since you will be sewing (or serging) the edges, you can choose woven cloth that has unfinished selvages, fleeces that don’t necessarily curl when cut, and cotton knits that don’t necessarily curl when cut. PLEASE read the instructions for No-Sew Wraps before proceeding.
