One of my first makes



Ok here goes...

This is one of my 1st makes.... Last yr I did a decorative crafts course and my project was to make a baby carrier... This is a Mei Tei style carrier adapted slightly with wrap style straps... I looked at a few patterns online before deciding on my design and combined 3 different patterns to come up with this...

Its made out of a pair of twill curtains and has 3 layerswith a photo frame on the one side so you can pop different patterened panels into it and change the look of the carrier..... or u can reverse it and wear it plain cream....

The panel in this picture is a reverse stencil of a mouse which I then embroidered and decorated with some buttons and sequins....

Works really well too - I use the carrier to transport both my youngest children (one at a time of course) It provides excellent support, no strain on your back at all and I can carry the boys for hours - impressive as they are 3yrs and 16 mnths
