    How to Make and Tie a Baby Wrap

    Almost four years ago I made a video on How to Make a Baby Wrap. I wanted one of those really nice wraps that everyone loved and swore by with new babies but I did not want to fork over the money to buy one!

They are SO SIMPLE and with the right sales, SO MUCH CHEAPER! Well, I made the video and it has been awesome! However looking back I do not love the quality…

    I love finding new ways to reuse old stuff. It’s like you are giving it a second life. So when I had the idea to repurpose my husbands old T-shirt’s into rompers I was so excited to get started. For these Rompers I just made my own pattern using a Romper we already owned and I knew my son fit well in. I folded it in half and traced around it. Then I added seam allowances, and I had a pattern! In the video I show step by step how you can make your own pattern for this. You can check out how to make your own T-shirt Romper here–…

    When I first started working with snaps I was a little intimidated by the process of installing them and then I had issues with the snaps moving or coming out. It’s no fun to have issues with snaps but once you have it figured out they are SO easy to work with. I love adding them to kids clothing.
