Today's message: I can now accept credit or debit card payments through Authorize.net -- you no longer have to use PayPal to pay by credit or debit card! (American Express transactions will not go through, because they charge a separate, higher fee for each transaction and I elected not to sign up with them.)
Use the "your account" tab above to create or log into your account before shopping -- I just upgraded the cart, and now you get a 5% credit in loyalty points for your purchase! If you've ordered before but do not have an account, please set one up and then email me, and I'll apply the loyalty points retroactively. The cart uses your email address to coalate your orders, so remember to use the same email address you'd used previously (or let me know that it's changed).

Please read about infant safety in baby-holding devices (every parent, babywearer or not, needs to know about this) and sling safety!

Tail accents in a large variety of colorful cotton prints allow you to express your own individual tastes on your sling's tail. You can have it sewn with or without a built-in open-top pocket (the pocket has no closure, but is a U-shaped opening sewn within the accent fabric). If you don't see anything you like, there's an option to send in your own fabric; any lightweight quilting cotton will do. For a solid accent on a linen or silk sling, click the "fun tail accents" below and pull down for the "contrast stripe" option. Please note: Most printed fabrics are like books -- they are printed once, and unless they prove to be exceptionally popular, they are not reprinted. What I have in stock now is likely to be all I'll ever have of any given fabric, so if something is listed as "out of stock", I am unlikely to get more.
