Taking The Plunge!

So I have taken the plunge and am now officially a vendor #288 at The Black Sheep Gallery here in Twin Falls. It has taken me a while to make a decision and since more and more people have been requesting my items I am ready! I appreciate your support. If any of you don't live locally please don't hesitate to contact me personally if you are interested in something you see.

I am really excited and ready to get busy on more items! I am currently working on 3 charmer totes for an order out of Texas and almost have them done. I will put pictures of them up soon!

Slings Are Dad Friendly Too!

Here is my brother with his 2 month old daughter using the sling I made him.

The Latest And Greatest Slings!

Last week I scored some of my greatest sling fabric yet. I was so excited to get them sewn up. Here they are!

My Newest Sling!

I was busy sewing this newest sling for a mom at my boys school yesterday and am so happy with how it turned out. I love the pattern on this fabric.

Ring Slings

Here are some of the ring slings I have made. I just started making them in January after I saw a local store selling them for $90-$125!! When I got online and checked it out, that is what a name brand ring sling will cost to buy. With Caleb and Elton I used a Baby Bjorn carrier. I liked it, but found that it really pulled on my neck and shoulders. I just discovered slings right before I had Oliver and was eager to try one out. Now I have to say I am a sling junkie. I started with a pouch sling. Pouch slings are wonderful, but have to be measured for and fitted very carefully. The ring slings provide more adaptability for size and can be worn by more than one wearer.

Slings can be used from newborn up to a toddler that is 35 pounds. Newborns can be placed in the sling in a cradle hold or breastfeeding position. As baby grows you can switch to tummy to tummy hold, kangaroo, and at about 6 months of age a hip carry position (that is the position Oliver is in in these pictures). I am finding the slings to be so much more comfortable and versatile than my Baby Bjorn. Usually I can sell them for $40 if I can get the right price on fabric. I custom order the sling rings which are tested to hold 250lbs. I am amazed at how many I have sold so far!
