Five years ago, I made one of Jan’s slings for my third child. I was relatively new to sewing and had never used a sling before. I loved that sling. I used it for three years and it still sits in my craft room pining for more children it will not get to carry.
I bought a sling from her, it is great, beautiful and well loved. And she is so wonderful to work with!
Thanks for your kind words and the link! My little sister just sent me your link :)
I love Jan’s site. It never fails, when I go looking for how something baby related is made, I end up at her site 9 times out of 10. She is the master. :o) Thanks Jan for sharing so much with so many of us. I have learned so much from reading your site.
