This week's message:

I've started using the sewing slot system again. I hate to do it, but I simply can't keep up with the order volume that's been consistently high for months now. Please click the link for an explanation of how it works and why I need to use it.

At right, In-stock slots are for fabrics I have on hand (basic and organic fabrics) and will be sewing from scratch; WCRS slots are for things you're having sent to me like wrap pieces, custom fabric, or sling shoulder redos. Next refresh is the date and time I will be adding more sewing slots.

I've changed from sewing a mix of WCRS and in-stock slings each week, to just doing WCRS one week and in-stocks the next. I think this will be more efficient and allow me to sew more slings, and may also may sewing slots easier to get. Sewing slots for both types will be added every other week, in a several batches to give people in different time zones the opportunity to order. If these present a difficulty for you, please email me at info@sleepingbaby.net and let me know.

My new logo!

I've been wanting a new logo for a while now. The lonely baby on the moon, all by herself and face-down... definitely not the image of a loving babywearing pair that sleeping baby productions should bring to mind. I described a vague idea to my longtime internet pal Molly, send her the photo that's on my front page, and she worked her magic on it. And I think it's perfect! The first iteration had the caregiver with long flowing hair, which I loved, but one of my core ideals is that babywearing is for everyone -- not just mothers, but fathers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, babysitters, and anyone who cares for babies. So I asked her to make the wearer as neutral as she could, to allow people who see the logo to imagine themselves in the picture, no matter their gender or skin color. I hope the image works that way for you!
