GEEZ, that is horrible. I actually like coming across shoddy sew jobs in things that I buy...makes me feel good about my mediocre skills. :) Your slings, as always, are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI recently made a couple scale slings for my practice. I was proud with the way they turned out. I have to say - yours blows mine out of the water! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious...
ReplyDeleteHow do you deal with the reverse side of embroidered fabric? do you line your embroidered linen slings?
Wow! Did she get her money back for that awful bit of sewing? She should!
ReplyDeleteYour slings are absolutely gorgeous, Rixa.
I can't believe the poor woman paid money for that!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOVE that brown one with the embroidered dots - you're so talented!
My hubby doesn't want me to buy a new sling for the new baby, so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to win something SOMEWHERE before February :)
Jodi--most of the embroidered fabrics I use look almost the same on the back side as the front, so I don't need to line them.
ReplyDeleteKim--you could always make one for yourself, perhaps?
You have some of the most beautiful fabrics! Where do you get it?
ReplyDeleteThose slings are so beautiful! Makes me wish I had a baby so I could have an excuse to by one...
ReplyDeleteJust another comment on how beautiful your slings are! I wish I a little little one still!
ReplyDeleteI buy the fabric from all over: some online, some in fabric stores. Most of it comes in fairly small lots so I sell out quickly. I'd like to look into wholesale purchasing, but I don't know if I have a high enough volume to justify that yet...
ReplyDeleteOMG I am drooling over the black linen with embroidered fruit. I still have birthday money left, I just might have to make an order.
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose any of those are for me? :)
ReplyDeleteThe fruit one is coming your way--just mailed it today!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I wish I didn't already have too many!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know where I could find a pattern or an explanation for how to fold the baby weight slings, I would like to make a couple for my midwives.
ReplyDeleteyour slings are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYour baby sling scale is GORGEOUS... *drool*!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of rings do you use?
ReplyDeleteFor the infant scale slings, I use the large aluminum rings from www.slingrings.com. For my ring slings, I use M for light/med weight fabrics and L for heavy fabrics.
