ring sling with overlapping pleat shoulder

CheckoutRemaining points: 0, for in-stock fabric slings/accessories sewn and sent July 24 (What are points? They do not apply to things you send to me -- check/money order payments, sling and wrap redos, or custom slings; or to the new STBS and vibrant collections.)

Next scheduled points renewal: Thursday, July 24, 12pm Eastern time, for slings sewn and sent on Friday, July 25. I have returned to a daily, rather than weekly, points allocation, but as my time is still limited by the fact that the kids are home all day, the number of points will be similarly limited.
