Showing off, sorry!!
Apologies in advance for what is really just me showing off!!
I've been very busy this weekend, I broke one of my ring slings and decided to replace it with a Mei tai instead, couldn't find exactly what I fancied so I made one! Here is Barney looking very snug in it at Meadowhall today
He was so comfy in it that he fell fast asleep which is why his head looks a bit lop sided!! Wasn't sure how well it would work but it is beautiful (even if I do say so my self!) so I am feeling very proud of myself.

Barney is 5 1/2 months now but it should hold up to about 35lb, you can use it to carry them on your back as well when they get bigger. I did cheat a bit as I adapted it from a free pattern I found online.

I haven't used a carrier for months, Evie's just too heavy to be carried everywhere- don't know how you manage it with Gabe Tiger Lily!
Mind you, my auntie carted my cousin around til he was nearly 1 in a backpack thing, and he was huuuge! She lots tons of weight so maybe I should give it a try!

Well done though for making your own carrier, i'm really impressed, after xmas i'm going to order myself a mei tai.

I used a carrier on Ellie once, she was about 2 weeks old & TINY so she hated it & I hated it & never used once since....thankfully because I would hate to have her stuck to me any more than she is already & I love pushing the pram because I walk everywhere!! It is lovely though
