Baby Sewing
I finally finished my “essential” list of baby sewing items, I think. I just ordered some PUL so I might go ahead and make some diapers as time permits, but we’ll see. Preparations for teaching my first Bradley series are quite time consuming these days.
First, I ripped apart my old ring sling, added some brown backing fabric and made myself another pouch. I like my old pouch sling, but this one is a little roomier.
Then I made a new ring sling with a lighter fabric.
And a nursing cover…
I finally finished a mei tai carrier for myself. I revamped how I sew them (padded the shoulder and waist straps, added an adjustable crotch area so that you can carry baby forward-facing and put on a sleeping hood) and have gotten a lot of practice by making them as gifts. The first one is mine and the second one is one I made recently for a friend.
I gave my Moby Wrap away, so I need to get some material for that (or purchase some from a friend with extra?), but it takes no sewing. Now Baby will be adequately carried around while I chase Josiah!

Really cute stuff, Rachel. You are so talented. I’ll have to put an order in for our second child one day. (No, I’m not pregnant…just thinking ahead)

I am in looooooooove with my mei tei and can not wait to use it…you really picked out such a perfect fabric for me! And I love your plaid!!!! I hope you’re not tiring yourself out too much with all these projects, I suspect it’s pretty fun though!
