I have to admit that when I received a photograph of an Oak tree for the applique on this carrier I did wonder how the finer shaping of the canopy might turn out, especially using a piece of Didymos Indio wrap fabric as Indios are notorious for fraying as soon as they are cut. In the event after working on the design for a while I managed to get a shape that I was happy with before transferring it over to the Indio fabric and then sewing it on the front of the carrier before it frayed too much. I am really happy with the end result and I hope the Mama that I made this carrier for will be too. I also have to say that this one of the most tactile conversions that I have ever made ! it is so soft and at the same time the cotton and linen threads in the Didymos wraps make it really sturdy.
So this is a Padded waist Conversion with seat darts. It has Duo straps and an Adjustable Sleephood. The Shoulder straps, waist strap, reverse of the body and hood, and the applique are all made using Didymos Yew Indio Wrap. The front of the body and the front of the sleep hood are made using a Didymos Linen Indio wrap. A great combination ;O)
my favourite so far! love carolkicker
