Fabric Jones

[Squeaky McMurdo]

My fabric got here last Wednesday! I made the sling the very next day, but didn't have time to upload pictures. I pleated the shoulder to the yellow stripe.

Here they are. The newborn carry is modeled by my daughter's teddy bear.


And here's the hip carry with my daughter.


And here it is empty being used as a sash.

I got an email on the 22nd telling me that my fabric has shipped. Ahhhhhh! I thought that would decrease the jones not increase it 300%

Does anyone have experience ordering something from Scotweb and having it shipped Royal Mail small packet? How long did it take?

When I looked at Royal Mail's international services one said about 3 days to the US and the other said 30. I'm languishing away here!

In the mean time, I made an onbuhimo carrier for my 22 month old and for the decorative trim, I used sample swatches of MacPhearson red from Marton Mills' Keighlyey range to tide me over. It worked for about a day.
I'm pretty proud of it though. I embroidered some bagpipes on it because I thought it needed something.



Although every once in a while, I'll wear both my kids if I have to (one on front and one on back) most likely my husband will be wearing her and I'll be wearing the new baby. *

Love the Macpherson tartan! "McMurdo," hmmm, you could join the Clan Macpherson Association!!!

Looking at the sling's placement, over the right shoulder, I am reminded of why the woman's plaid is so frequently expected to be on the right, not the left.

While I have read discussions of it it encumbering the right arm, having a baby on the left, supported by a sling (or plaid) actually frees the right arm to go on stirring the porridge. Thank you for the perfect example of that!
