Okay, I'm going to be honest from the get-go about this one. I copied this design. Partially because Beco only made about 100 of their limited edition blue scooters carrier and I missed my chance. I kept thinking about getting it when I was pregnant. By the time I changed my mind about the Ergo and wanted something new, they were sold out. There is also the caveat that I didn't feel like shelling out $189+ for something that I found out I could make on my own. I have to thank Beco for putting me on to the beautiful designs of the Echino line. The best part is that I had enough fabric left over after cutting out the carrier to make myself a matching mini diaper purse. I call it a purse because I don't seem to want to use anything else lately. Perhaps I'm being egotistical and am just proud that I drafted the pattern myself. Once I work out the kinks, look back here for the free pdf version of the diaper purse, which I like to call the "viaggetto" (little trip in Italian).
Being a quilter at heart, I love to fussy cut things and this Echino fabric lends tons of possibilities. I also just splurged and got some of the laminated cotton fabric (the blue background with the birds). I plan to make a large diaper bag/ overnighter to use on our upcoming trip to grandma's house in August.
That all said, I've officially cut myself off from fabric shopping for a while, especially deliciously expensive Japanese imports...
I love that you took a product that you saw and made it your own. Great job by the way!
