Fold the cloth lengthwise once - cloth now measures 6 ft by 1.5-2 ft width. Stitch along the sides or all over in stripes. Stitching is not mandatory.
Fold the cloth again lengthwise - cloth now measures 6 ft by .75 - 1 ft wide. DO NOT STITCH the cloth. Find the center of the length and hold it around your waist - the center part on your stomach - with the open fold above - hence forming a pouch. That is where you put your baby's butt.
Take the two lengths of the cloth and criss cross it on your back and bring the ends on your shoulders and towards the front - as shown in the pic. The open folds towards your neck inwards.
Pick your baby, Put his / her butt in the open fold at your waist. Cover his / her butt upto the knees in the pouch kind of thing formed at your waist. Put both the baby legs towards your sides until he / she is comfortably sitting in the pouch.
Hold the baby there with one hand and pull and tighten both ends of the fabric until he / she is snug in the pouch. Take one end of the cloth (say on your right side) and put it across baby's back and butt. Take the cloth under the baby's opposite leg (on your left side) and around your waist to the back. Hold the cloth there tightly. At this point, you can let go of baby and hold the cloth at your back with one hand.
Tie both ends at the back or if you have a lot of cloth left - cross them behind your back and bring them to the front and tie the ends on your stomach or on the sides - entirely left to you.
There - you are ready to explore the world with both hands :) Also, dont forget to do a safety check on the baby in this position. Listen for baby's breathing, and dont tie the wrap too tight to suffocate either you or the baby.
Dont worry, it might be tough the first few times, but you will get it soon.
