Mei Tai baby carrier

My sister and I bought some fabric for making baby carriers like this one. Neither of us sew and I was having major anxieties over messing up our fabric.

But then I realized I had some ugly curtains in the linen closet and it was all I needed to go crazy on the sewing machine.

My awesome friends are helping me with more accurate sewing, with an actual pattern, with the real fabric BUT today I competed the curtain carrier with no pattern and barely a pin or straight seam. Definitely not measure twice, cut once...but I am pretty pleased with the results!

Definitely not comfortable with Simon in it....

But, it should work fine for the new baby! :)

Oh wow, that actually came out quite nice for no pins, no straight seams! I actually like that "curtain" fabric :)

You did a great job!

Just thought you should know that my mom loved the fabric. She thinks it goes together really well.
