my homemade mei tai

ok, i actually made this a few days ago, but i haven't had a chance to post about it here yet. i'm SO excited about it though, so i have to share. about a month ago, i lost my beloved babyhawk. it was tragic, i mourned it's loss (well, kinda. i was sad, but i didn't cry or anything). . . well ,it had been 3 weeks and it still hadn't turned up, so i decided it was time to take matters into my own hands, hence the mei tai i made for trevor - that was a trial run to see how hard it would be to make one for myself. it turned out that mine was even EASIER than his, probably b/c i had better material AND it was bigger, so i didn't have to be QUITE as exact on certain things. the only thing that was harder was that i padded the shoulder straps on mine, so that took a little extra effort, but was totally worth it. i refuse to have a mt that isn't padded. anyways, i think it turned out REALLY well, so i thought i'd share some pictures w/ you all! :)

please excuse the strange look on my face in that last one, i was trying to get trevor to smile by telling him to say "yay" and the picture took in the middle of the word. . . i didn't feel like redoing it, so i figured i would deal w/ it. :)
