I know nvr2tall made a great one for herself, but I don't know if she would make one to sell. You could ask her!

I just made my first one yesterday! I got a free pattern online and modified it! IT was sooo easy to do and im not even that great of a sewer, www.babywearer.com has a Do it yourself forum. Good Luck!

I made one for my son (22 mos) and he HATES it. I'll sell it to ya' cheap if you want to try one out. I made it a few months ago and have tried him in it every few weeks or so but he screams. I guess he's just more familiar with a rebozo and doesn't like the difference.

It's a red/white gingham check pattern (very small checks). All cotton. $15?? I can snap a photo today if you're interested.

Yeah, I've made a few. ;) I co-moderate a yahoo group called slingsewing (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/slingsewing/), you're welcome to join us if you want more tips and ideas, or just to search the archives. You can make one yourself really easily - I put up a website for directions on how to make a FrankenKozy (http://webpages.charter.net/dshiel0742/FrankenKozy.htm ), the kind with really wide straps. Or I can sew one for you, just pm me.

Grrrr!!! I'm having trouble posting pictures ---- when they're reduced small enough to post, the checks looks really weird and distorted. Can I email photos to you?? My email is jillbert @ swbell.net (no spaces).
