Here's one website:

They are awesome! It was a lifesaver/sanity saver with DS and will get use again with DD.
As for instructions there are tutorials out there. Just google it. I don't have a site saved or I'd post it. You generally need about 5 yards roughly and you just serge the edge. If it's 48" or 60" wide just cut in half width wise and serge. You'll have one for yourself and one to give away. Jersey knit fabric so there's some stretch, but still supportive. Also, if you don't have a serger I believe there are no-sew instructions out there as well. And definitely use Joann's coupons so you save some money on the fabric. :-)
I just made one! It's super easy. There are two options for making it. You can either buy 5 - 6 yards of 44" wide fabric, cut it in half length wise and have 2 slings or you can buy 2 1/2 to 3 yeards of 44" wide fabric, cut it in half length wise and then sew the two sides together to get one 5-6 yard peice of fabric.
I got 3 yards of fabric, cut it in half and then sewed the two peices together. I'm excited to try it out with the baby.
DIY moby instructions
I made mine last weekend - the fabric cost $28 with tax and I got two because I had to cut the fabric in half lengthwise. $14 a piece isn't too shabby!!
Im sold! Im getting a Moby Wrap!!!

I might have to make one and give it a try this time around. I hear it's super easy to use.
I have a sling and a mei tai wrap that I bought homemade on ebay. I love them both for different reason. DS always loved both too. The mei tai was nicer as DS grew up.
You want to be careful about sewing two smaller pieces together- you've got to remember it's going to be a weight bearing seam.
