Hannah sent me a link to a babydoll sling a couple weeks ago. I finally got one made - two actually. I didn't have a pattern, just a couple pictures from someone's etsy account. I made the first one for Isabele. It was a hit. So, that night, I made one for Titus. I like the way I made Titus' better, and need to make a couple more. Great gift idea for girls and even boys. Titus carries airplanes and action figures in his, though in the picture, I did stuff Brian's old doll (in much need of some repairs), Herbie, in just to see if design number 2 would work better for larger dolls. (It does).
The kids were not very excited about posing for pictures on this occasion. But you get the idea at least.
When I make the next one, hopefully this afternoon, I'll pay attention to how I did it so I can stick it in my ideas/instructions book. if anyone is interested in one, or the instructions, let me know.




They look great Lyd
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to "pop in" and say that the picture at the top of your blog these days is precious. They kids look great and the sky is that crisp blue, and the field... it's just a great shot. I really like the colors and design of the background you've got up now too.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am not surprised the babydoll slings are such a hit! They look great. Curious about how you're evolving the design/pattern for them - I just like to see the evolution of innovation... clever little changes that improve functionality etc... Seems like you're a really fun mom, always coming up with things for the kids, involving them in things. (I loved the story of stringing up the out-door tree just to find it bare when next you noticed. Merry Christmas, squirrels et al. )
I really admire all of that. I know it seems like "common sense" to some people, but I've worked with so many kids from different countries and walks of life - and I just get a real sense of how lucky your kids are.
Don't mean to gush. It's just a beautiful thing to see, even if only virtually.
Merry Christmas
