Favourite ring-sling shoulder?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I'm planning on sewing a ring sling.
I'm trying to decide what kind of shoulder to sew, so I figured I'd ask here and find out which type you all find most comfortable.
Right now, all I have is an old-style Maya Wrap sling, and find that it's a bit hard to spread the fabric over my shoulder cap (in fact, the fabric has started to pull at the stitching now that I'm using it on my 4th child).
I've seen instructions for the Maya Wrap shoulder, a gathered shoulder, and an accordian-pleat shoulder.
Which do you think I'll like?

I have used both gathered and overlapping-pleat shoulder styles (the Maya Wrap uses the accordion-pleat), and I think the overlapping pleats give a better fit over the shoulder, and doesn't ride up toward the neck as easily. See here for a variety of shoulder of options.

Thanks! That's actually the website I was looking at to figure out how I want to sew the sling. I was leaning towards the overlapping-pleat, myself.

I much prefer a gathered shoulder I'll use my SBP overlapping pleat rs but it's not as comfy.
