Spring is “almost” in the air here in Seattle. The trees are brilliant, and it’s snowing flower pedals. Dreaming of warmer days and nostalgic for those sweet moments that I was able to carry my wee babe around.

Our summer is unfortunately scheduled with a surgery for my son in June, and my father-in-law in July. This leaves my summer babywearing classes a bit up in the air. I hope to get a babywearing workshop on the books at Big Belly Services in the end of July, but in the meantime I will continue to offer private classes.

I will continue filling orders for slings and make time for individuals interested in The Seattle Sling Lending Library.

Hope your summer is memorable!

Metrosupial Designs offers hands-on workshops exploring the art of babywearing at Big Belly Services in Seattle’s Capitol Hill Neighborhood.

We will explore the pros and cons of different carriers, the benefits of babywearing for infant and caretaker, how to choose the right carrier/s, and tips, techniques and troubleshooting for safe babywearing.

I have dozens of types/brands of carriers to try and we will take most of the class to learn how to use them.

Finally, slings for your wee ones! All fabrics available. Pocket is large enough to accomodate dolls and stuffed animals. $36

Stylish babywearing in Seattle.

All ring slings, like our pouch slings, have edging that is professionally hand-crafted and double-seamed with a contrasting color thread for a finished look. We DO NOT use manufactured bias tape as edging.

Coordinating print edging covers the seam at the rings. Our pockets are fully lined in coordinating print, including the flap and inside portion sewn to the tail. Closure is velcro.

One of my true favorites.  This pouch sling seems to fit right in with babywearing in Seattle.

Grey body and edging.  Top rail has coordinating dots.

This sling has lovely colors. The body is brown and the upper rail has a coordinating print with brown and orange dots. Perfect for babywearing all seasons in Seattle.
