Miss Crafty

I have heard from a lot of people that I am going to want a sling when the baby gets here. I can see that they would be very useful, but they are really expensive for a small piece of fabric. I searched everywhere online for ones that were cute, safe and reasonable in price. I had no luck. So.... I have a sewing machine now, why not make one!  


I couldn't tell how it would feel with a baby in it. My baby consisted of hand towels and dish rags.  I need to get my hands on a doll, to test this thing out.  I like it cause it is tight and the baby will be able to be very close to me.

Good job! Very impressive. I wish Hannah liked the sling cause I think they are so cute! Well she likes it now but back in the day she wasn't a fan. You're already such a great mom!

Look at that talent!! Where did you get the pattern? I bet you will love it! Bergen didn't really like to be held (strange for a Baby) so I never needed one...but I bet it was fun to make, your gonna be one crafty mama!

I am sooo impressed. I want to see the baby book your mom has been telling me about. Look at you being all provident and financially responsible!
