Mamagenta Ring Sling.

This Ocah Ring sling has been made using a Mamanatura Exclusive Girasol called "Mamagenta". It has been sewn with a Simple Gathered shoulder.   The stunning colours of the stripes are hard to capture with the Gathered shoulder on my teeny tiny Mannequin, so we will have to wait for some action shots to see this slings true beauty ;O)

 

Lilia Ring Sling

This lovely Sling has been made using a Slingomama Exlcusive Girasol called "Lilia".  It has been sewn with a SBP pleated shoulder used with kind permission of Jan Andrea of Sleeping Bab Productions.

 

 

Ginseng & Jim

I fell in love with this Fabric/wrap combination and as soon at it landed on my doorstep and I was super excited to be sewing this Ocah Full Buckle for a really lovely Mama too.  So how frustrating that after this carrier was all finished my pics turned out so naff ! It has been such a grey day here today that depsite moving locations twice and taking over 40 pictures non of them really show the amazing contrast of the always amazing Didymos Jim wrap and the the lovely vibrant colour of the Joel Dewberry Ginseng fabric.  Luckily for us this carrier is now on its way to a place where the sun shines a whole lot more than it does here in the UK so I am counting on this Mama to send me some action pics ;O)

This Ocah Fully Buckle carrier has dual adjustable shoulder straps, Clipee waist with extra top stitching, leg padding, and Adjustable Sleep hood.

 

 

 

 

Smargrad & the Very Hungry Catepillar

The Smargrad, or "emerald" Indio from Didymos is a huge favourite of mine and so it was really nice to be working with one on this Ocah wrap conversion.  This Smargrad has been teamed up with some of the funky Very Hungry Catepilar fabric.  The Mama that ordered this conversion had some great ideas about how she wanted the fabric to be placed but it wasnt until I started work on this carrier that I could really get a feel of how to work the fabric into the design.  After a few tweaks here and there an exchange of ideas via email we finally came up with what I think is a real winning combination.  This Ocah Wrap conversion is a Clipee Conversion in an "inbetween size".  It has the new style Duo straps, Custom Pixie hood, and leg padding, extra top stitching on thr waist, and an applique.

 

 

Lana Olvia Adjustable Clipee

This Lana Olive wrap Conversion has been sewn as a Clipee Conversion but with the addition of the Adjustable waist.  It has Duo straps, Leg padding, Adjustable Sleep hood, and Arms out padding.  When the carrier is turned around with the inside facing out, the Clipee waist can be folded up over the body to reduce the length of the carrier. I love how the double face of the wrap (the light green reverse of the wrap) can be seen when the straps are tied.

You dont have to own one of our carriers or have a slot booked with us to answer your questions, so please do feel free to email us if you have any questions or need any information.

NEW SLOTS:
I am now finally working on the remaining customer orders and so we need to set up a new date for the next slots in order that we have a 2 weeks lead in time to get order details sorted and wraps ordered. The next 6 slots will be available at 8pm on Monday 4th October.

The Ocah full buckle will now be available to order with any slot.

If you want to be in with a chance of getting a slot you will need to send us an email at 8pm with the word "Slot" in the title of your email. You do not need to enter any more information in the body of the email. If you are new to snagging slots and need and help or advice please get in touch at ocah@hotmail.co.uk

Slots will be allocated to the first 4 people that email us and then at 8.15pm we will put all of the names of the remaining people that have emailed us into a draw and at random 2 more names will be taken for allocating the two remaining slots. Therefore if you email us you will have two chances of getting a slot. We will email each person that has been allocated a slot by 8.30pm requested a deposit of £10 be paid to secure their slot.

We will not be making the list public.

Once we have received your deposit Claire will contact you to start to work through the details of your order with you.

IN STOCK CARRIERS:

I am in the process of moving into a new studio and in the process of packing my fabrics to take with me I have come across several cut and ready to sew, or half finished Ocah carriers. These were all very self indulgent projects with fabrics from my stash. I am hoping to get these finished and listed in between finishing the remaining customer orders and starting work on the new orders so watch this space towards the end of October.

NEW DUO STRAPS:

I have been trying work out a way of sewing the Duo straps differently so that they are more like a padded Mei Tai strap at the top before flaring out to the wrap part of the strap. I am also aware that not everyone got on with the lighter padded shoulder and so I have worked out a new way of sewing the Duo straps so that they work the same but look neater and feel more cushier. So the new (looks neater) Duo straps now have an extra 50% of padding in the top part of the straps. Pics below:
