Are you ready to make the Ninja Roll?
A little intimidated? Do better with videos? I got ya covered!
Here is a video on how to make the Ninja Roll. I take a lot of time in this video to show you how to make the side elastic casings. That part is a little more tricky than a regular seam, but still able to be sewn by a beginner.
Not sure what a Ninja Roll is?
It’s a cover for your babycarrier. You can use this Carrier Keeper for long-term carrier storage, to protect your carrier in the car, or while wearing it. I wear it on the carrier at all times, and use it to stow away my baby carrier when my child is ready to walk for a bit. I also use my wrapped carrier as a nursing prop for when I don’t want to nurse in the carrier. All wrapped up, it looks like a enormous fanny pack.
The Ninja Roll comes with 2 sizes, Standard and Large. The large size is needed for the Lillebaby Complete and carriers with a head-rest. Most other carriers will fit in the standard, even some toddler size carriers. Just measure your carrier when it’s rolled and compare it with the finished size on the pattern.
See how it is used here:
