Tee hee! I am ready to add a new item to my Etsy shop! I wanted to show you guys what I have been working on secretly for a bit now.
This will be a little combo: a handmade carrier and coordinating pantsuit (or dress) in the colors/patterns of choice. I made this little combo set for Carmen and her sweet baby girl, Luma. So in honor of them, I wanted to give it a special name in my shop...."The Little Luma"
Carmen asked me to make the carrier and we worked together to choose the fabric she liked best. I then added the trims and coordinating lining fabric. Then I had to surprise her! I wanted to do something special for her and Luma since they were so nice to let me make this for them. With the leftover fabric, I made Luma a matching pantsuit! Now Luma can go out and about in stye all coordinated! I just adore coordinated stuff and I sure hope Carmen and Luma will love this!
I sure had a lot of fun making this one! This is like the carrier I made for myself a while back, but there are a few changes. I used top of the line interfacing that is super stiff so the bag can stand up on it's own and hold it's own shape. The bag has a removeable bottom for washing. I added lots of cute embellishment and trims. The bag does have a safety strap with a clip so Luma can be snapped in safely. The carrier has a scoop on one side so that she may poke her head out comfortably while Carmen carries her. I just adore this fabric Carmen picked out! I think I like Luma's carrier better than Katie Scarlett's! Tee hee! Carmen may have trouble getting me to mail it out....just kidding!
