Ooo, baby slings in custom fabric!

A friend just discovered that http://www.rockinbabysling.com/ will do custom fabric baby slings, and let you supply the fabric! You have to specifically ask for it, but that's still a delight!

... No, I'm not pregnant.

Actually, they have some wonderful fabrics there too - I just didn't find the "perfect" one. I really like these because they have long tails - which really helps with the "draping whilst breast feeding" issue.


... Yes, I'm pregnant!

I never really did get the hang of nursing while standing; I only managed to pull it off a couple of times. And since Aidan doesn't like being in the sling while I'm sitting, and I have zero modesty concerns anyway (which is a source of much irritation to my poor mother), I didn't worry about tail length. ^_^

It's too bad they don't offer the pouch style in one of their offered fabrics. *cry*

I'd stop using my old maya wrap pouch in a heartbeat if they did. :)

(I'm not a huge fan of the ringed sling, which maya wrap also makes. They bunch up at the shoulder rather than remain spread out. That was my experience with them anyways.)

I just got back from the fabric store today - where I lost all sense of control. I bought fabric for two reversible slings. One will be a gorgeous bright royal blue with the other side being a bright, sheer, geometric print in bright pink, orange, gold, blue, and green. I'm going to get it with gold rings and gold thread. The other one is an Army print with tanks and helmets and "Go Army" on it, with khaki green for the opposite side. I'm so excited! Hooah!

One for you, and one for the Captain? *grin* This will definitely appeal to his manly side. Will he also get his own diaper bag in rugged olive drab?

Am afraid he will then take said diaper bag and put ammo in it or something.

Olive drab with appliqued Tiggers? Mama has a very easy way of doing applique -- use the iron-on stuff, iron it on, outline it with puffy paint to seal the edges, and stitch down for extra security.
