I feel very clever (I made my first carrier)

I finally got around to making my first carrier - it's a wrap style mei-tai based on the BBO (ball baby overall) but I modified the shoulder straps and added a pleat.

It's made of red duckcloth with a panel of kimono silk, and is lovely and soft and cushy and comfy already. Wore it for about 15 minutes when it was finished and can't wait to give it a proper breaking in!!

Here are some pics:

and here

YAY!!!

The pattern can be found here for those who feel like making their own.

Ooooh nice one Suse :clap:

Wow, that looks great!!

It's beautiful Suse!!!

Very pretty, well done Suse :)

Great work!! When you linked from the other thread I thought you meant 'Over the Top' lmao.
I love that you wrote '...I made it AND it works...' ;)

ETA: That site you linked to is AWESOME, I already had it bookmarked, seems everything I ever want to make is on there lol, comes up in every search!!

Thants fantastic Suse

It got its first outing today and man is it comfy... It looks so good too, we wore it to the market and got lots of admiring looks. Well I assume the admiring looks were for the carrier, they could have just thought I was a hot spunk :rofl:

QM, Jan is amazing, she makes slings commercially but is so supportive of the babywearing community and of other makers. She's put so much into helping people wear their babies.

Of course you are a hot spunk! Combined with that great looking carrier I'm not surprised you were copping the looks :D

that looks fantastic!
