Mei Tai Baby Carrier


I finally finished my mei tai baby carrier. It was harder than I thought it would be (like most projects I endeavor). Mostly it was hard because of the thickness of the material and I still cannot figure out my sewing machine. Some times I wonder if I should have gotten a little more fancy one. Anyway, it's done and the baby and I are still getting used to it. It is cooler (temperature) than the Moby wrap, but so far I still love the Moby best. I have not attempted a back carry yet, I'll wait until she's a little bigger. I mostly used the Scandi Mei Tai Tutorial for the whole thing, but I decided to go without the hood and make a curved head rest like the Frankencozy.

I used twill fabric for the straps, blue minkee for the inner lining and a pretty paisley silky rayon for the outer. It is reversible too. Love it!
