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.

Here's what's going on in the next couple of weeks: I'm going to change 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. 

This coming week, I can't sew at all on Monday because we have to be out of the house for 24 hours for application of spray foam insulation. So starting on Tuesday, I'll be sewing all the WCRS orders I currently have, for the weeks of the 13th and the 20th (if you have a WCRS sewing slot for the 20th, please send your wrap as soon as you can to facilitate this). I likely won't be adding sewing slots for either type the week of the 13th, so that I can catch up on what's currently outstanding during the transition. If you are in dire need, of course please email me at info@sleepingbaby.net and I'll set up a reserved slot for you.

The next week (week of the 20th), I'll put up *in-stock* sewing slots on Monday morning and afternoon, and probably Weds. afternoon/evening, too. There will be about 70-75 slots in total; I think that's about the best I can do for the week, although Weds. may be fewer if I'm not able to get through the Mon-Weds. orders in time. (This is about 25-30 more than I have been adding, so it should be easier to order.) I will also put up slots on the 20th for WCRS sewn the week of the 27th, probably 80 or so (it would be more, but Monday's a holiday). This will mean I'll need people to send their wraps as soon as they can for sewing that week.

After that, I'll be doing every-other-week sewing slot refreshes for both in-stock and WCRS. As always, if you're unable to be online during the slot refreshes, please email me. I think this should work better for me and my customers, but it's a work in progress :)

If you're looking at a product and can't see any swatches, click on the color selector for that product, pull down until you see the name of the color you're interested in, and then let go of the mouse button. The photo at left will change to reflect the chosen color. If this doesn't work on your browser, please send me an email and let me know.

Please take a moment to read about the sewing slot system before ordering.

Custom fabric ring sling

This is for materials that have not yet been hemmed or that need extensive sewing. If you are sending a wrap to be converted into a sling, please use the wrap redo link instead -- it will save you at least $8. If you are sending a sling to be redone, use the sling redo link.

Custom sling, sewn for you by sleeping baby productions out of material you send. Please be sure you have read and understood the custom ordering information page before ordering here.

If your fabric is a fiber that will shrink when washed (cotton, linen, silk, rayon, etc.) and you have not prewashed it before sending it to me, please make a note of whether you will be machine-washing it after you have received it in the options below. If you intend to machine-wash, I will add the appropriate length to the sling, so that it will be as close as possible to the desired length after washing.

My address is:

Jan A. Heirtzler
12 Davis Ave.
Durham, NH 03824-1940

The "Weight of fabric" option refers to the physical weight of the fabric you are sending. Heavier fabrics cost me more to mail back. Email me if you're you're ordering it online and are not sure how heavy the fabric will be. By this I mean the physical weight and bulk of the fabric. Some fabrics, like silk and Solarveil, are very lightweight and compact; others, like polar fleece and many bottomweights, are either bulky or heavy or both. I will need to pay the actual shipping cost to send your sling and any excess fabric back to you, and I prefer not to pay that out of pocket. If you pay $9 to send the material to me, it's going to cost me at least that much to send it back. If the cart overestimates the shipping cost, I will refund the difference.
