You’ve probably seen parents carrying their baby around town in a stretchy wrap, but did you know that stretchy wraps stop feeling supportive when baby reaches about 8kg?
That is where woven wraps come in. Think of them as the more versatile, longer-lasting big sister of the stretchy wrap. Because they’re made from non-stretchy fabric, you can use them to carry your child for as long as they’ll let you!
Woven wraps are special because they offer the most customisable fit of any baby carrier. You can make tiny adjustments to perfectly mould the wrap to both you and your baby—creating comfort, support, and connection. Fair warning though: they can be addictive.
Want to know more?
Join me for a relaxed, hands on workshop in Mount Kuring-Gai, Sydney where we will explore all things woven wrap.
I will be answering the big questions, such as:
- What even is a woven wrap?
- What does base size mean and how do I know mine?
- What are the different fabric options?
- How do I do a Front Wrap Cross Carry (FWCC)?
- What are the foundations of safe positioning and effective tightening?
- How can I keep my baby safe and secure in a woven wrap?
The finer details

Where: Mount Kuring-Gai Community Centre, 5 Church Street, Mount Kuring-Gai
Cost: $20 - This is a low-cost workshop designed to make babywearing more accessible to all families, regardless of financial situation.
What to bring: If you have a woven wrap, please bring it along. If not, I will bring one for you, no worries.
