OT sewing genius
I have just completed the most gorgeous sling for a friend to give as a baby
shower present and I have to brag! I used beige linen for the outside and lined it with toile. The toile is mostly beige and brown with some blue and green and dark peach in it. man, is it gorgeous. I had some vintage ribbon my mom gave me and I trimmed out the sling up around the rings. My needle kept breaking on my sewing machine trying to sew through all the layers and I needed to cover up the stitches It is GORGEOUS! Oh, and I had some material left over to make what i call a "paci pocket" where you can put a pacifier, maybe an I.D. or credit card, and a few bucks or a small change purse. I noticed Maya slings have a little pocket on them and so I took a cue from that. I am also making a changing pad to match using a hand towel and more toile. It has a couple pockets for diapers and wipes so that you can carry it all together and will always ahve a clean place to change baby! I'm so proud of this project! I've been making the changing pads for a few months now and like to do them, but this particular fabric combo is really classic looking (If you like that sort of thing). koa Still nursing James, 02/06/01 EP'ing for Joey 04/02/03 (BCP) |

I am just about to attempt my first sling - very basic compared to yours, as it will be in a plain chambray. Amybe if it works I can attempt something more adventurous next time! Cathy |
