Since Hoppediz discontinued the Florenz wrap there are very few to be found which is a real shame as it is a beautiful wrap. This Florenz wrap has been dyed Flamingo Pink by a lovely Mama for her Ocah conversion which is a Padded waist conversion with Custom Duo straps and Leg padding.
This Ocah Conversion is made from a hard to find Lana Purple Mlikyway wrap. It is a toddler sized padded waist conversion with custom Padded shoulder straps that are 4" wide, and leg padding.
...........let me explain. My dear sister until recently used to ride around on a motor scooter who was affectionately called Gina, (she is leaving the UK so Gina has gone to a new home). My girls all loved Gina so imagine their delight when they saw the fabric for this Ocah conversion arrive at our house ! We all agreed that If Jo Jo was to have an Ocah Carrier this would be the one !
This Ocah conversion has been made for a lovely Mama who supplied her much loved Lana wrap for me to dye to go with her Echino Scooters fabric. The conversion is an Ocah Clipee Hybrid, with Custom sized Duo straps, Adjustable sleep hood, leg padding, Arms out padding, extra stitching on the waist band and a cheeky little Ladybird applique on the reverse of the sleep hood. It is reversible too ! Was there anything else this Mama could have added to her Custom Ocah, I think not ! :O)

It is always great to receive feedback about our carriers and even better to see some pics of our carriers in action. I was delighted to come across this picture on the Natural Mamas Forum of Lisa with her Marimekko Hybrid conversion which she has very kindly allowed me to share with you.
My oldest daughter 10 year old Hannah saw this Ocah conversion and announced that it was an "Invisibility Cloak" ! which if you are a Harry Potter Fan will probably make perfect sense to you :O)
This conversion has been made from a hard to find Lana Purple Milkyway wrap. It is a Clipee conversion with custom Duo straps, Leg padding and of course that rather special custom ordered Pixie hood !
This Ocah conversion has been made using a Hoppediz Antigua wrap. It is a Standard conversion and has custom Duo straps. I love this wrap is is such a birght and cheery wrap which reminds me of summer. I enjoy making Standards conversions and the addition of Duo straps makes this conversion especially nice !
This Ocah conversion pretty much has it all ! It is a Double Hybrid Clipee conversion with Custom Duo straps, Adjustable sleephood, leg padding, arms out padding , and extra top stitching on the buckle waist. This has been made using a Leo Marine Storchenweige wrap, with Marimekko fabric on the front of the carrier and the sleep hood and a Stunning hemp silk fabric on the reverse.
The lovely Mama who ordered this Choccoliscious Ocah conversion has owned many Ocahs but never one that she custom ordered ! so this is her very first brand new Ocah conversion ;o)
The wrap used is a Didymos Chocco Ellipsen and it is a lovely mid brown on the front and a darker contrasting brown on the reverse. This conversion is a Padded conversion with custom Duo straps, Adjustable sleep hood, Leg padding, extra top stitching on the waist, Duo straps and it is reversible.
Given that soooo many people love the Original Didymos Jim wrap I am suprised that I havent used one of these on an Ocah conversion before. I have been waiting ages to get an order for one and I was so pleased to finally get to sew an Jim Ocah conversion. "Skinny" Jim is nice, "Dragon" Jim is already legendry but good old original Jim is stunning.
This Ocah conversion is a Clipee with custom Duo Straps, Adjustable Sleep Hood, leg padding, and additional top stitching on the waistband.
