  I've made many! I've made a few for myself and I sell them. They're very easy! I've made them 2 ways, 1 way is to buy 5-6m of fabric depending how big you are and how much extra you want for tying, the fabric I've bought is wide enough to cut in thirds so it makes 3 wraps with no sewing.
  2nd way is buy 3m of fabric, cut it in thirds again, over lap 2 3m pieces by about .5m sew them together.
  I also add a fun fabric to the middle and ends.

   I have. It really is as easy as buying 5-6 yards of stretchy fabric and splitting it lengthwise.

  I would really caution against piecing together fabric, especially stretchy fabric, to make a wrap, as it could tear while wearing it.

  Thanks I've done a lot of research and worn my wraps countless times with no issues.  It's sewn over many times over the 2 layers plus sewn over the cotton print fabrics I add on. The fabric also doesn't fray.
  It's definitely easier to just buy the 5-6m of fabric, just sometimes it's much cheaper to get the 3m

  Oh, I'm not questioning the safety of YOUR wraps, I'm sure you have done your research. I meant that it might not be a great idea to suggest it to others who may not take the same precautions you do and still think it's safe.

  I bought 6 yeards of a guaze type breathable fabric (I was using during the summer time) cut it in half and that was that.  I did not feel like sewing it and it worked great for my son and I used it all the time.  Very easy!!
