Okay, so I'm not quite sure if I have a problem with a crafting addiction or if I am really avoiding any work on my dissertation prospectus, but I've finished another baby carrier. This one was made for a friend in the department. I got the fabric for the main body panel from Spoonflower.com.
They are two separate designs, which I layered/ appliqued in a way so as not to reduced the strength of the main panel. I love the design of the two birds, but I'll be honest, the fabric is not "best quality" (I'm not trying to make fun of anyone, just referencing a line from "The Joy Luck Club). If I could find some way to have this fabric printed by a better manufacturer, I would in a heartbeat, but I see that I will have to find some next avenues for creative fabric crafting. Thus my next carrier (which will be for sale this time!) is going to be back with my old staple--Japanese imported fabric, or rather Echino line fabric.
Stay tuned in the near future for my next posts, more sneak peaks at items that will be in the Etsy store I plan to open on July 1st (if anyone is actually reading this....).
