Wrap-to-Sling Discounts Apply !
Pre-Thanksgiving free shipping
Have a wrap you're not using? Send it to me, and I can remake it with overlapping pleats!
Preparation:
If you have pets or are a smoker, please wash the wrap (without fabric softener) before sending it to me -- we are very sensitive to pet dander, cigarette smoke, and perfumes here! Please make sure that its long edges are already finished (hemmed or selvage, either way is fine -- all Didymos, Storch, Girasol, and most other major brands are already finished); if it needs hemming, it's a custom sling rather than a redo :) If your wrap has a fringe at the end of the tail, I will leave it in place unless you specify otherwise; likewise, if it's tapered, I leave the taper unless you'd prefer it hemmed straight (which will result in the loss of several inches of length overall).
My mailing address will be listed in your email confirmation.
Ordering minutiae:
If you are ordering a wrap specifically for a redo, you may have it sent directly to me.
If you are sending a wrap to me to be split with another person, you can either order both parts in the same order, using the other person's address as the "ship to" address and making a note of which part is going to whom; or order separately. Shipping is built into the slingification cost, so it all works out either way. If I will be hemming/converting both sides, please do not cut the wrap before sending it. I have received two already-cut wraps, and it was much more difficult for me to work with them, since in one case, there was not enough continuous length for the accessories that had been ordered, and in the other, the cut was made at an extreme taper, which ruined the second piece for its buyer. This doesn't apply if you are splitting it and not sending both pieces to me -- only if I'll
be sewing with both pieces.
If you are buying the wrap from a third party and having them send it to me, please include their name somewhere in your order (description, or special instructions) so that I will recognize the sender, and please ask them to also include a note with your name in the package. I've gotten a few wraps with no identifying information and no existing orders, and that's very confusing for me! If there is not an existing order, I also need the buyer's email address, or I can't let them know the wrap has arrived.
Other notes:
The "sling size" selector is if you have a long wrap that you want redone shorter -- I can't make a short wrap longer :)
Most wraps (with the exception of Ellaroo wraps, which are thinner) will require large diameter rings -- 3" and above. Anything smaller, and the fabric just won't budge when you try to adjust it. Please keep this in mind when ordering, or if you plan to send your own rings.
Need to know how long a wrap you need for a sling? See below. Wraps that have tapered ends (like the Didymos) will be measured from the center of the taper, so one side will be 6-10" longer than the other.
As most wraps are under 30" wide, I will use the full width to make the sling.
My standard procedure is to sew the sling with the hemmed edges facing outwards in the body of the sling -- this tends to be more comfortable for the wearer and baby, since then the hem isn't digging into you. However, this does mean that the "wrong" side is out in the body of the sling. If you would prefer the hem in (so the "wrong" side is out in the tail), please select that below. (This is not usually an issue for BB-Slen, Ellaroo, and BaraBarn wraps, just the jacquard-woven wraps like Didymos and Girasol.)
If your original wrap is long enough, you can add some accessories like a snap-on pouch , zipless pocket , or snap-strap -- please be sure there is enough fabric first, however! Zipless pockets will be made from a horizontal slice of the fabric unless you request otherwise *and* there is enough fabric to take a vertical piece. On a wrap with two different sides, the pocket can be matching or contrasting; please specify which you would like in the "additional comments" section at checkout.
In the "wrap description" field, please tell me what color and style of wrap you have -- "Didymos" or "German wrap" isn't very helpful to me :) I receive somewhere between 5-15 wraps per week to make into slings, and I need to be able to tell them apart. I am also not terribly familiar with all the different companies' names for their wraps, so a description, like "Brown with orange edges" is much more helpful to me than "Hoppediz Costa Rica". I'm getting better, but can't guarantee I'll be able to identify a wrap by its brand name!
If you want insurance on your order, please select the appropriate option below. Because redos are technically "shipping exempt" according to my cart (that's how I make shipping included in the price), it will not add the price of insurance if you select it during checkout, and I don't pay for insurance out of my pocket -- I already make very little money on wrap redos. So you'll need to select it below if you want to add it to your order.
Please read this section carefully if you are ordering multiple slings and/or accessories from a single wrap, or if you'd like to know how long a wrap you need for what you'd like to end up with.
(Go to this page if you want a sling shoulder redone , and here for hemming of the other portion of a wrap that's being slingified. )
