Joey Sling

Hardware & Supplies

Everything you need to make your Joey Sling, all in one place. Quantities below are for one bag. Choose your strap width and closure before shopping for hardware.

Shop the Joey Sling Hardware Kit

The kit is designed for a 1 1/2" strap. Shop fabric, mesh, zipper tape, webbing and sewing tools separately.

Before you shop: The 1 1/2" strap is recommended. If making a 1" strap, choose the 1" snap hook, slider and optional strap end listed below instead of the 1 1/2" hardware.

01   Fabrics

Exterior

Approximately 1/2 yd. (50 cm). If making your own 1" strap instead of using webbing, add a 50" × 4" (127 × 10 cm) piece.

Lining & Slip Pocket

Approximately 1/2 yd. (50 cm) lining fabric, plus an approximately 7" × 8" (18–21 cm) piece of mesh for the slip pocket and a 7" (18 cm) piece of fold-over elastic.

02   Interfacing & Stabilizer

  • Lightweight woven fusible interfacing: Approximately 1/2–1 yd. (50–100 cm). Generally not required for vinyl, cork or waterproof canvas; it can help stabilize faux leather, faux suede or vinyl with subtle one-way stretch. Shop woven interfacing.

04   Strap & Binding

  • Strap: 55–60" (140–153 cm) of 1" or 1 1/2" wide webbing (1 1/2" recommended), or make your own.
