OMGoodness!! What a busy year. Sorry folks but I had to dump the mystery quilt project. I've been all wrapped up in making wrap conversion mei tai, podaegi and ring slings. What's that you ask? Mei Tais are a Chinese style soft structure carrier or SSC for your baby or toddler. Podeagi or Pod is a Korean SSC and ring slings are a carrier that is just a long piece of fabric with two rings sewn to the end.
Here's a Girasol wrap that I converted, Gnomes are soooo cool:
I got the applique pattern from www.UrbanTreads.com. No incentive to promote their site but boy, do I love a lot of designs they have. They even sell fabric on www.spoonflower.com which I love as well because they offer some very unique fabric.
The "Hangin with my Gnomies" hood snaps to the padded shoulder straps. There are two options for snapping in place. One set of snaps are closer to the front for when you are carrying the baby on your front. The other set is further back for when you are carrying your toddler on your back. Putting those snaps on was a chore. They did not want to go through all the padding plus the thickness of the fabric. I ended up having to use an awl and hammer to get them through.
Anyway, I think I did a pretty good job of matching the rainbow stripes up on this one.
Have a great day!!
