I am a crappy seamstress. :-D

[Lisa]

I finished my Mei Tai. :D

The seams are horrible. :laugh: Especially the bottom strap.

Not a line is straight. :rofl:

And I love it.

The bottom strap is even, it is just folded weird or something. Promise.

Nice! I love the pattern.

How did you pad the straps? No pocket?

[Amy]

I love it!!!

[Rebecca]

Wow!!! That's awesome!!!

[Vorpal_Bunny]

nifty!

[Lisa]

Nice! I love the pattern.

How did you pad the straps? No pocket?

Low loft quilting batting is the padding. I just cut a strip, put it in the middle, and sewed it down the middle.

And no pocket. I never used the one on the ring sling. :dunno:

[Lisa]

And the straps are a little long. But right now I like it that I can wrap it around his back, and then tie under his butt.

He is sleeping in it right now. :D

*places order*

[Michele]

*places order*

Me too.




I'll take two pudgy baby cheeks with a side of baby smell.

Hold the leaky breasts, please.

[Michele]

I think you actually did a fabulous job there, Lisa.

[hereslizz]

:word:

I need to take a sewing class.

[Michele]

Me too. One time I tried to hem curtains. It's just a straight line. And I FUBAR'ed them. :laugh:

[Alie]

[GLC]

And the straps are a little long. But right now I like it that I can wrap it around his back, and then tie under his butt.

He is sleeping in it right now. :D
My kids spent sooooo much time sleeping in the sling. It was a great way to get things done.
I like that style a lot better though. Is it easy to make?

[Kate]

:love: looks great!!! I lovethe fabric

[Angie]

I am totally slinging/mei taing it with this kid.

It looks great, Lisa!

[Natale]

Good job!!! That looks like it could be worn on your back?

[Lisa]

It was time consuming, but not hard. The straps are the PITA part.

Good job!!! That looks like it could be worn on your back?

Yep. And on your hip. And it is super comfy.

[Lisa]

And thanks guys.

I am going to try again I think, doing the straps different.

The bottom one isn't seamed well and parts are coming apart kinda. You can really see the quality work up close. :rofl:

But, it is functional for now. :rock:

[Terri]

I think it looks great!! Jackson looks comfy! :D :love:

I couldn't get this site to work. :(

[Lisa]

Huh.

:scratch:

Me either. I printed the pattern from there though. I swear it was a site.

[Crystal]

Huh.

:scratch:

Me either. I printed the pattern from there though. I swear it was a site.


I'll check back later. Maybe it's just temporarily farked.

[Amanda Lou]

I like it, Lisa. I really like how you have it tied around his back.

[Lisa]

I like it, Lisa. I really like how you have it tied around his back.

And then it crosses behind me, and ties under his butt. Because the straps are sooooo long. :killingme


I am gonna do another one, eventually.

[Lisa]

I'll check back later. Maybe it's just temporarily farked.

Do you want to make one?

if it doesn't come back up, let me know. i can copy/mail the pattern.

[Amanda Lou]

I can't sew much, and would never try to make one. Do you now know why they cost so much? The gal that made mine said it was no wonder they are $75 and up once she'd made a couple.

[Lisa]

It seriously isn't hard.

Just the straps suck ass.

All that folding and pinning.

Blah.

[Crystal]

Do you want to make one?

if it doesn't come back up, let me know. i can copy/mail the pattern.

I did want to try one. I'd hate for you to spend postage on me though. Can you email it? Or do you only have a hard copy?

[Ana K.S.]

WOW!! I can only stitch stuff by hand.
I need to retake home ec. :blush:

[Lisa]

I did want to try one. I'd hate for you to spend postage on me though. Can you email it? Or do you only have a hard copy?

:rofl:

I didn't even think of emailing it.

:headslap:

I can scan it and email it to you. :D

[Crystal]

:rofl:

I didn't even think of emailing it.

:headslap:

I can scan it and email it to you. :D
