...for this post, anyway! Being without a babe and trying to take a picture of a baby carrier is tricky. My little stuffed blue bear ended up filling in just fine, but I did worry a bit about what the neighbors might think when they saw me---the lady with 5 kids who homeschools---modeling a stuffed bear like it was a newborn babe! Hopefully I got away with it!
I made this for a blogging friend who was looking for a mei-tai carrier. I used this tutorial and I made the straps approximately 3-1/2 inches wide with fleece lining over the shoulders for comfort. Admittedly, I put the straps on upside-down on my first try, but with the help of my trusty seam-ripper, all is well!
Making this carrier reversible would be simple and you could make a side suitable for yourself as well as one for your hubby (cars or camo fabric?)
This site has great directions for tying it on front or back, and it also sells the carriers in custom fabrics.
The only way to make this cuter is the addition of matching diaper bag:
Happy sewing!
