Instructions:
1. Cut off one strap and move it a few inches closer to the other strap, depending on the shoulder width of the little one.
2. Flip it inside out and take in the sides smaller, depending on the waist measurement of the little one.
3. (*optional if the fabric doesn’t stretch much): Sew a 5″ elastic onto the back. As you’re sewing the elastic onto the fabric, gather the fabric little by little as you go.
