Welcome to the Quilting Board!
If you need a quick sling to help immobilize your arm (Bursitis, accident, whatever) try putting on a large long sleeved shirt. Take the cuff of the sleeve (with your arm in it) and button it into a high button hole in the front. It is quite comfortable and really helps you to stop trying to use the bad arm.
Good tip-thank you !
What an ingenious and practical idea! Thanks! Hope I never need it though!
great idea... thanks for sharing

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
I expected you to tell us to go to our stash, pull out a piece of fabric, etc., etc.! Thought you had a genius way to fold a sling!
Your idea is much better!

Well, that is a good idea!
This is great! Don't need it now and can only hope I'll rmember it if I do need it! Hope you are okay and didn't need to find this out for yourself.

Great idea, and much nicer looking than the sling I presently have to use after my shoulder replacement. Thanks for the idea.

If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
When I had both broken wrists in plaster at the same time. I took it in turns to hook my hand in my jacket or cardigan which was fastened half way up. Slings were no use.
Finished is better than a UFO
Great idea....Thanks for sharing...
