Did you see that Ceara had her baby? A sweet little boy named Donovan that I can't wait to meet in a little over a month. Ceara said she didn't know if she was going to get a carrier, of course I decided that meant I needed to make her one. I found the Sew Liberated pattern and it was quick and easy:
iPhone photos, but you get the idea.
Of course it will look much different with a snuggly little newborn in it, but we had to try it out (and have used it quite a few times actually since it was sitting out). Now that I've made the pattern once I think I'm going to customize one and whip up a summer model to take Tuesday out and about in. The outer is a home decor weight canvas material and the inner is a flannel I had on hand. Oh and the whole thing folds up into the pocket:
Pretty awesome pattern, I recommend it! I only did a few really minor tweaks, like angling the ends of the straps and shortening them a bit.
How cute! I’m sure she’s going to LOVE it! and little Donovan is sooo cute!
how cute! i love that it folds up into a neat little pocket! how handy.
and donovan is a cutie pie. i left a comment on her blog 🙂
That is really neat!
I love that it folds up into a little pouch! You are such a good friend.
Congrats Ceara! That carrier is sweet!
Donovan can’t wait to take it out for a test drive!! 🙂
That’s a great carrier! (Stopping by from the sheet swap)
Amber,
I’m tempted to send you money and have you make one for me! It’s cuter than anything I’ve seen lately. If you are interested in making another, let me know and I would be grateful!
Stacey do you sew at all? Because this is totally a beginner sewing project, really easy and very rewarding!
