the Mei Tai

After trying out the rebozo, I wanted to find a wrap that would be easy to use for back carrying. I found this pattern for a mei tai wrap that seemed pretty simple and easy to use and also easy to make. I made it with cotton on the outside, a blue flannel for the inside and some thick cotton flannel on the inside. I did not line the straps although I might for the next one I make. Some of the instructions were hard to follow, but with trial and error I think it turned out how it was supposed to. However, after making this, I feel like it is either too big for me, or too big for Jacob. I've tried adjusting it as much as I can with the wrap, but it feels like he is not secure and could fall out of the sides. I'm not sure if I am wrapping him too loosely, or if I need to adjust the pattern. I may take it apart and take a bit off the corners to see if it fits better. Otherwise I am pleased with it and it's not too bad as a front carrier because I feel a little more secure carrying him that way at least until I make the adjustments.
