Show and Tell Friday (7/27)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better!

Today I wanted to share with you something that I made yesterday. Now...keep in mind I had no pattern, just a general idea. This is called a Mei Tei or an ABC (Asi@n B@by C@rrier) I wanted something to carry Little E in besides my sling. I wanted something to switch back and forth with. So...it definitely needs some "tweaking", but at least I have a prototype now. It's reversible, but the striped side is too cute with the bandannas.




I just wanted to also say that this has been a HUGE month for Little E. A couple of weeks ago he learned how to sit up, pull himself up (to a standing position), and to crawl.....all in the same week! Two days ago he got his first tooth! This boy is just "raring" to go. =)

AAWW! Cute fabric and cuter baby!! What a nifty idea!
Sarah said…
I am so impressed! I can't imagine sewing something without a pattern... I'm so spacially challenged that orienting the pieces might just be too much for me. Give me a pattern and a grid and I can do almost anything!!
Little E is adorable. I bet he loves riding around in that precious Mei Tei!
Anita said…
Wow, and you had no pattern for this carrier?! Very well done! Little guy seems to enjoy it a lot now that mommy is carrying him around.... he's so cute!

Best wishes from Germany,
Anita

That is nice. You know what, you do such good work I bet you would do good selling your things on etsy.
I would sure give it a try girl.
And that little one has really grown, he is so cute.
