Baby Sling...

After putting this off all morning,(I'm feeling miserable), I finally went in my sewing room and made a new baby sling. My old one was 16 yrs old and was given to me as a gift with my first baby. It was showing its age and the fabric was a bit dated. So I took the rings from it, used a piece of decorators fabric that I picked up awhile ago for $8 at a local shop and made a new one. Had I known how quick and easy this project would turn out to be, I would have done it long ago. The ironing took longer than the actual sewing.
I would model it for you, but it doesn't quite look right with the giant belly. I'll save the body shot for when I can actually show you the baby in it :)
Anyway, I'm happy with how it turned out and it is one more thing checked off my list.

Have a splendid day,
Tiff

  4. How cute! I should have used one for Asa when he was littler, I'd hardly dare now as he's *so* stinkin' big. lol.

    Thanks for your nice comments on my blog, I really appreciate it. :-)

  5. I know you had a Q +A post a few back, sorry I missed it (we have been sick in this house, then I have been playing catch up) but I have a question about your sewing room shelf that holds all your thread. I have a birthday coming up and I would like one of those. I need to give my husband specifics for things like that. Could you post pics and give dimesions, that way I can give hubby details so he can make me something similar to that for my sewing room to hold all my spools of thread. I love yours and have a picture of it hanging on my wish list. Thanks Tiff.
