After first I was skeptical because I was worried how 'strong' the actual carrier would be..but I honestly used over 2 bobbins of thread because you sew SO much. They have so many extra lines you sew in for strength. It feels super heavy duty and with two straps there's no way a baby is coming out of there!
Here are a few pictures...one with a newborn and one with a 4 year old!! Now mine only goes up to 30lb weight limit but that's still pretty good. (Plus, I used heavier fabric than just a cotton or jersey)
Here's mine...I had to use a teddy bear because I don't have a baby yet :-) I'm really excited about it though! Most mei tei's cost over $45...I made mine for $10 and still have tons of fabric left!
(don't mind my sunday grung look!)
(don't mind my sunday grung look!)I also made a changing pad to put in our diaper bag. I used fusible vinyl for easy clean up! It didn't turn out as great as I wanted it to but it will work. I sewed in a pocket to hold our diapers and wipes too. I figure anything is better than laying your baby down on a germy changer at the mall!
Here's a few pics!
And all folded up ready to go!
