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.

International babywearing theme

Help celebrate International Babywearing Week (Nov. 12-18) with an accent that highlights mothers across the world! This bright, cheerful fabric is a mosaic of moms and their babies in traditional dress, many using time-honored baby carriers -- see how many you and your children can spot.

For every accent or pocket purchased with this fabric before November 18th, I will donate $5 to Babywearing International, an organization dedicated to the promotion of babywearing as a practice that benefits parents and babies alike.

Show your support for babywearing, and Babywearing International, with this fabric, and help other parents and caregivers learn about its benefits at the same time!

Note: The sling itself must be purchased separately -- this is an add-on which will be sewn to the fabric of your choosing. Price shown does not include base sling fabric.

(Legal stuff: sleeping baby productions is not officially affiliated with Babywearing International, and use of the name does not imply endorsement by BI. I just love BI and want to help them out.)

Again, please read about the sewing slot system before you order, and do not use someone else's reserved slot if you have not emailed me about getting a one, or I will cancel and refund your order.
