A note on bamboo:
Bamboo is a highly resistant organic crop, grown without pesticides or insecticides. As a textile it’s an eco-fiber with natural properties that are very desirable for baby products:
- it’s remarkably soft, silky, and has a lovely sheen
- it’s very durable and can be tossed in both the washer
and dryer
- it’s naturally anti-microbial, prohibiting the growth of
bacteria and resisting the growth of mold, yeast, and
fungus
- it’s hypoallergenic and thus an excellent choice for
people with skin sensitivities
- it’s very breathable and great for hot, summer days
Fabric content:
Wrap - 100% bamboo
Accent/Pocket - 100% polyester satin brocade, lined in 100% cotton.
Washing:
Gentle wash in cold water. Line dry.

The Ladybug Dress
Last month I made a cute little dress with a ladybug print for a DIY Exchange. The recipient posted the most adorable picture of her daughter in the dress. It looks like a catalog shot :)

I made another little dress for our little friend, Faith, daughter of Ryan's former nanny Katie, for her second birthday. Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 years already! I hope she likes it.

Mei Tai in the Shop
Get it while it's hot :)
The rails and waist band are 100% bamboo twill, hand dyed to match the Amy Butler Midwest Modern "Fresh Poppies" print that is used for the accent piece and hood. The shoulder rails of our mei tai extend all the way down to the waist band. Both shoulder and waist are lightly padded with fleece. The body, rails, and hood are all lined in a pretty ice blue woven jacquard comprised of 70% cashmere/30% silk, with an inner lining of cotton canvas.
** This mei tai is a second quality due to a 12" strip added to the end of the shoulder rail and is marked down 24%. This addition has been reinforced and does not affect the strength of the rail. **
