Mei Tais!!!


I have three basic mei tais that I'd like to sell. They are all hand-made by yours truly, and while they're certainly not a Baby Hawk, they're really very nice, no-nonsense mei tais. They'd also make great gifts for new moms or moms-to-be who need a little nudge into babywearing. You can, of course, click any of the images to see it larger. My apartment doesn't offer much light, so please bear with me. I do have a few more shots--if you'd like to see them, please ask!

The black carriers are made of 100% cotton twill, one side is black, the other is either the blue or pink patterns (one of each). Top straps are 62'' long, and bottom straps are 28''. Both top and bottom straps are 5.5'' wide. I'm asking $40 for them, but am really very flexible--so if you're interested, please make an offer.




The red carrier has a bit wider straps--7'' wide. Unfortunately, however, I did make a mistake when measuring my fabric, and the top straps ended up shorter than they should have at 56" long. It still fits me, my 6th-month-pregnant belly, and my 1-year-old in a front carry, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone larger than that. For that reason, I'm asking $30 for it.

mini mei-tais

Hi Ladies!
Hope one of these bright patterns suits your kiddo's taste. I aimed to pick patterns that were fun, but still made them feel like they had the "real" thing (hence, no bumble bees or gingham :-) ). The measurements on these will be approximately 35'' for the top straps, and 20'' bottom straps.

Pink Swirly-Stars


Funky Green Dots


Blue Batik



Peach rings (or, what DH likes to call "You should have used a coaster")


Each pattern will be used for the body, and paired with either this lovely black or sandy off-white for the straps, you choose.
