This is post #4 in a series of fundraising posts. Just joining us? Read this to find out what we are raising money for.
This sling is for all those mamas out there who wish they had a fourth hand (I sprouted my third hand sometime during my second pregnancy….if you don’t have yours yet, you will soon). Glory is approximately 19 lbs and I feel totally comfortable wearing her in this. We should get some good use out of ours for awhile, and since Glory loves it, I plan on using it. It will also work for a newborn (not the back-carry), it just takes some learning. A baby carrier is something I could not have lived without when Glory was a newborn and I had a toddler running around, and I think that all parents of two or more should own one! (Parents of one will enjoy it too, of course!)
I will supply directions and special safety instructions, so don’t worry if you aren’t sure how to use it just yet! If you are local, I would really like the chance to show you in person just so I can help you get it on safely. If you are not local, then we’ll have to do it via computer, but I think it can be done, and you might even be able to find a local mama who knows what she is doing too!
This ring sling is made using a heavy twill. The special aluminum rings were designed and tested specifically for this purpose. The best part about this sling is that the tail is embellished with a piece of silk I purchased in Cambodia when I was in college. It’s been hiding out in my cedar chest waiting for the perfect use, and what better use could there be? I bought it while on a mission trip, and now it is going to help fund one!
This sling has a pink silk with pink rings. I also have grey-blue silk with matching rings. I can always order more rings and more twill, but I have limited amounts of silk and when it is gone, it is gone, so order now! Slings are one-size fits most.
Ring sling with Cambodian silk (specify pink or blue): $55 now $45!
Those are some great pictures!!
