Maya Wrap Style Ring Slings... - New Moms

trevsnavywife · 02-18-2007, 11:06 AM

So I will be making one for Dustie to use with Brenna and thought I would offer up my service for anyone else who might want one. I would have to charge a minimal fee because of shipping and fabric cost...but won't be as much as they usually retail for...

Here is a sample of one I made myself...

Ignore the inproper wear, I had not yet adjusted it and had my name called, so I didn't get to adjust it...

I LOVE IT!!!

I wonder if Im smart enough to know how to wear it!!!

About how much are you charging for them! You did a GREAT job!!

That is very cute. how much are you charging?

Caimbrie · 02-18-2007, 12:21 PM

I don't need one yet because I don't have a newborn again yet but we're talking about trying soon. So when I am pregnant i might be requesting your services if you're still doing it

Yes she does good work. I dont have mine yet but she did use hers she has when she was babysitting Jacob. WORKS GREAT!!!!!!

Aww I want one but not getting preggo for awhile still yet so I dont really need one. When I am though I might ask if you are still doing it cuz you did a great job.

I still put Katrina in my sling, it's nice when we are out because I dont' have to chase her down, and if she falls asleep it's not weighing on my arms. She's almost 3 yo.

I am thinking of charging between 20-25 dollars and I"ll pay shipping, for you lovely military sos gals

I just need to know what kinds of fabric you would like, or if you would just want me to pick something cute/fun. Cori, I have instructions that I will print out as well as take photos of myself in it so you can see how best to use it

marla, i'm intersted in photos/instructions too.
i'm not going to have a baby for another 3 years (that's the plan anyway) but i want to use a sling when i do!

Just PM me your info...I will start this week, taking some pics of fabrics I have on hand...Once they are gone I'll remove them..First come first served

But of course, if I can get more I will.

I also wanted to add Maya Wraps retail at about $50 each for those who wanted a price comparison. For those interested, the difference in the style of a pouch like hotslings or new native carriers...those are one continous circle of fabric which creates a pouch to cradle your little one, the Maya Wrap is adjustable, so you can put an size child (newborn to toddler) and adjust it accordingly. I have also used mine when Katrina was younger and wanted to walk constantly as a leash type thing, even to cover high chairs at restraunts and a changing pad when out in public.

I also want to add, that you use them at your own risk. They are made strong as I test each one I make with Katrina for strength and safety. I also suggest to refrain from cooking with your carrier in a front carry b/c of splatter and burns to your child (Common sense I know but I need to make sure it's said.)

All this will be included with each carrier that I send out.

I'm excited to make these, it will be a good way to spend sometime and keep me from lounging too much these last 2 mo of pregnancy
