A Little Bit of Fancy
FANCY
ADJECTIVE
ornamental; decorative; not plain:
Her mei tai is fancy.
I knew from the moment I laid eyes on it, it would someday be the front panel of a mei tai. Yet, it would take a very special complimentary fabric to make this work. I owned no such fabric.
So, for a year I have been scouring clearance bins and shelves for a fabric that had just the right look, just the right weight, and just the right amount of yardage. I finally found it!
Gold damask and blue embroidered silk makes for one very FANCY mei tai!
Oh, and one last picture...

Very pretty! Wish I had a baby so I could justify making a new mei tai (well, that's not the reason I wish I had a baby!).
Gorgeous! I need a baby so I can figure out how to make a mei tai!!!
Great job Momma!
The fabrics go nicely together! Well done!
I love the shoes too!
Have a blessed Easter~
Warmly,
Georgiann
I almost forgot to say...
You look terrific! I pray that you have been getting enough sleep.....you look well rested and your hair looks nice!
How did your clothes shopping go the other day?
Blessings,
Georgiann
Mei tais are actually my favorite way to carry toddlers, so a baby is not required! ;)
And Georgiann, you're a sweetheart! I am really working on this UN-frumpy thing and enjoying it and feeling so good! I've even dropped a couple of pounds! How's that for a bonus!
Sleep...well, some nights are good...others are not. But God is in the little things.
Much love all!

I made a mei tai last year and love it also. I used scrap fabric I had and it works great. My only wish is that I had put a little of padding in the shoulders. As Lillie gets older, it pulls on my shoulders. Just a good reason to make another one! Your looks so pretty! Great job!
That is so pretty! I ordered a carrier similar not long ago & it was $$! I didn't even use it yet, being I have twins one would have to be in a stroller or another carrier.
Baby looks very comfy :))
I followed your link to your shoe post and then to the tutorial and pattern. Just so you know, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I love it! I'm definitely going to use the pattern. I bookmarked it. Thanks for posting it.
Great! They are very, very easy to make. I've done 3 pairs now and he wears them all the time!
Cute stuff! I'm taking notes! ;-)
I will be getting a mei tai soon and I can't wait!! :)
Yours is really pretty... Micah is adorable. :)
