Mays' mei tai

I finally finished sewing it. It took be about 1 week to complete it but it is done. If you don't know what a mei tai is, read about it here. They didn't have the definition on wiki so that's the best that I could find.

The cumulative time is probably about less than half a day. The reason I took so long was because of the bug. She doesn't like me doing anything that doesn't involve her. I can only work in spurts, before she comes looking for attention. Sometimes, all she wants is for me to sit next to her and read to her. She's a demanding one.

It's basically a chinese baby carrier. I didn't have any chinese silk on hand so stripes it is. It turned out quite nice I think. The material is from Ikea. I bought a pair of Ikea kitchen towels cause I liked the color. The size was just nice so I decided to use it for the mei tai. The straps are from an old bedsheet that I cut up cause I didn't have anything long enough to use.

Finally the photo. Here's me testing out the mei tai with my unwilling participant. The photographer is my niece.



I'll take a better photo when I have the chance.
