Oh My God I am so excited I don’t know where to start!
Remember I said DH wanted me to make him a “Mei Tai with buckles”? I smiled and said ok but the truth was I was thinking ok I will find out how to BUY it, not MAKE it. It just seemed impossible to me! But of course my husband kept hinting that I can definitely MAKE it. But how? No buckles? There are NO online instructions/tutorial for this!!
I decided to just make him a manly-looking mei tai instead. I had the fabric all cut out for a mei tai but I had no padding so I had to wait (to buy padding) before sewing it up. Yesterday, thanks to Liza (thank you dear!!) who commented on my blog, I realized I CAN get buckles and I DID! Bila dah beli buckles I still felt not confident enough, boleh ke ni??? Takde tutorial! I had to figure this out on my own….mcmana ni…kalau buat mei tai je kan senang…ish…but in the end, thanks to DH who apparently has blind TRUST in me………………..
I DESIGNED AND SEWED MY OWN SOFT STRUCTURED CARRIER!!
Can you believe it?????
It’s a hybrid between our own handmade Mei Tai ( I love it’s size, shape, thin padding and versatility) and SSC buckles. Thus eliminating the long straps, this was bothering my DH. It’s made of cotton denim twill, which is amazingly soft and breathable, yet strong. Hubby chose the Ikea fabric at the back, which I love and has been in my stash for a long time. It can fit both me and hubby well =)
I finally found the perfect Daddy-friendly carrier!!! (we’ve experimented with pouch which was also great and I’ll update on that later but I was too excited to reveal this one first..hehe)
let’s see the pics!

The carrier looks even better when it’s worn with the baby! I only have photos of the carrier for now, I’ll update more with action pics!
Oh..pls forgive me for the over-excited post…I just can’t contain my enthusiasm..i still can’t believe I actually made it!
DH raved about how awesome it is the whole of last night and this morning! He thinks it’s the best carrier ever! Thank you Bang..you really know how to make a girl feel special…hehe
He even said I should SELL it! What do you guys think??

Mommy Adam!
u can start a business here!
hehehe..btul ckp ur hubby, sell it~! or maybe make few more other designs and sell them..
i would definitely be one of ur customers~ bole book order sekarang ke? hehe
i already got a sling from babyloft..so far it serves its purpose cuma kadang2 lenguh jugak sebelah bahu..and kain dia terlampau berjela-jela..i purchased yg ni instead of the pouch sbb konon2 igt nak bg hubby bole guna jugak..he can use it too, tp mmg panjang la kain sling tu..(eh, terbagi testimonial laks..:P)
anyhoo, since u mentioned dat this meitai would suit both the Mommy & the Daddy, teringin plak nak beli yg ni..
jual la~~! hehe
yes, you should! i'm gonna be one of your early buyer.. hehehe :p
SELL. :)
WAHH Aida,
see already got customer.
Sell laaaa..
I pun excited baca ur post knowing that u mmg berbakat lah dear!!
Post gmbar daddy adam wearing adam k, nnt nak tunjuk dgn abi tasneem.
u know what, he refused to wear tasneem. kalau i pelawa, dia cakap.."xpe laaa...ummi laa pakai. kan aida bagi kat u.."
chaiiitttt
Aida, you should! Seriously.. kak ryn sokong sepenuhnya.. hehehe..
And you could also be the first to provide the tutorial on how to make mei tai with buckles!
haih, so proud of you :) i'd defenitely buy later when I need it.. :P
yes yes you should sell it. If there's an opportunity don't shy away from it. Imagine if the business takes off. you can work from home doing something you love and be with your children at the same time. That's what I would love to do anyway.hehehehe
mommyadam, sell it, sell it.
kalautakmo buat huge numbers pun, at least by request can ah????
i want one, please, please, please, please
:)

sell!
i can imagine how excited you'll be bila benda tu siap.. :) congrats...
Hi Aida,
I have been silently reading your blog simply because I love looking at your crafts. They are all great!
I have been wanting to suggest that you should start a business venture of your own for quite some time now. It is one of the most satisfying thing that you can do in your life. Also, you would be helping other mothers and fathers out there by offering them your great products. I am so glad that now you are thinking about it.
Do let me know if you need any help in terms of starting up a business. I would be most glad to help. =).
Regards,
Naziehah
i love your passion for babywearing!
i would definitely buy it dear!!! smlm lenguh giler dukung sleeping Lyssa gi PARAM sampai i told hubs that i nak jugak beli sling sendiri (dah order pun dah!)... dulu jln2 gi bandung pinjam jer SIL punya pouch but i find it sooo useful. dah tentu2nya cik lyssa nii suka berdukung so might as well get some sort of support from a sling...
anyway...melalut plak... sell laaaa!!! i want a pink and girly one k!!
I totally agree!!sell it...i will buy...truly...thought of getting one for my friends who jz got a baby...plssss...how much will u sell it....honestly..i'm buying here.
definitely go for it mummy adam! and also include the cloth shoes @ the soft toys k? :)
Sell!
aida, at first i'm not interested in babywearing ni...dah lama2 baca your blog, wah! rasa cam nak buat satu je..tapi kalau aida nak jual, don't forget to put me in list..heheh
kudos to you!!! it looks amazing. are u gonna bring it to the forum meet this weekend?
Aida...
yes... u should start ur own business...
Aida dearie,
I think it would be the greatest handmade Mei Tai! U should start selling it anyway.
I'll definitely be one of your customer, nak order awal bleh ke.. for next year May.. hehe.. I want purple for myself and blue for hubby.. :)
Take care! Your really inspire me.
dot,
sell laa!! dah lama i ask u to sell ur crafty things! u can sell it online..no need to sewa kedai ke ape..i'm definitely will help u to promote this thing! ;)
Mama shazzy,
Thank you..yes, kat mesia ni the vendors are mainly selling one-shouldered carriers..which are great for smaller babies, but two-shouldered carriers are better when the babies are bigger..the weight are distributed to both shoulders, and hip.
Yoko,
Thank you..i’ll think about it =)
Farid,
Thanks…I’ll jump if you jump..hehe
Nannoor,
