Mustard Mei Tai

Last week was a pretty gray week, in many ways.   It was cold and wet outside, which I don't mind--it's perfect sewing weather. Pot of tea. Movies playing. The hmm-mm-mm-mm of my sewing machine. Fabulous.  And I was warm and cozy inside.

Not only was it gray outside, but it was sort of gray inside. Gray and yellow!

I finally finished Kayleen's mei tai and mailed it off to her!

Kayleen picked out some very pretty yet subtle prints, and I really enjoyed putting it all together.  All in all, I think it turned out well.

The reverse side. She didn't realize it when she picked it out, but this is a very good "neutral" side for boy babies (or baby-wearing-husbands). And here I thought she had done it on purpose ;)

I had fun with the details, of course, too :)

From the pictures Kayleen sent, although Lou doesn't look terribly enthused (she was sleepy) :) it seems to work very well.  She says they're happy with it and Mike is surprised at how comfy it is.  (I love surprising husbands. I'm not sure why.)

Happy baby-wearing, guys! :)
