I did not get to do the cradle carry because my almost 10 month old no longer allow me to cradle them anymore, unless they are asleep.

De Pastel (Celery) Ring Sling
After wearing Ring Sling with long tails, I decided to test some sling with shorter tails. Using matching light color tones of Shantung Silk, De Pastel is designed with a pointed tails and light embroidery at the borders.
Surprisingly, some friends commented my RS looks better with shorter length. As oppose to longer tail, shorter tail gives a neater and fresher look too. And I personally feel it is so much safer as I do not have to worry about the tail of my sling get caught into the going up escalator. What do you think? Do you prefer shorter or longer tails when you wear your sling?

Within a week of Mama Patch launching, 3 Mama Patch slings has been sold. Two of them are Denim Patch design.
Mama Patch Denim sling is made of strong and sturdy linen. When I shopped for fabric for my slings, I am so surprise to find that linen is so much more expensive than cotton. Hearing so much about using linen for baby sling making, I decided to try to make one. Although new fabric is crisp, a linen is definitely easy to be sewn and stitched.
When Yen showed me her work, I am so impressed with the outcome of the color and her embroidery. For our denim, we used colorful butterfly patches, with a matching golden thread. Pairing up with a pair of bronze aluminium rings, Denim Patch looks so vintage and cool. Certainly a great buy.
Facts about linen:
Made with fibers from the flax plant. One of the oldest fibers in use, used very often in hot climates. Excellent “wicking” properties, will absorb and release perspiration quickly. Strong and breathable. Downside: wrinkles very easily. Some weaves are stiff, others can be more flowing and comfortable.
Tips with linen
New linen is crisp. Some said hang dry and steam iron and just use them a LOT. Sit on them, sleep on them and just keep using them. Linen often takes a while to soften–but that’s what makes it strong, too. It’s just the nature of linen.
