Caroline's babywearing sling N° : SM-023

Caroline had a sling that she didn't want to part with, knowing it would make a wonderful bomber jacket.

Caroline had a sling that she didn't want to part with, knowing it would make a wonderful bomber jacket. Unfortunately, the sling was too short to make a complete jacket, so we searched specialized groups in hopes of finding a longer version of this babywearing fabric.

Finally, we decided to make the bomber jacket with another wrap to which she was equally attached, and the result exceeded our expectations!

The result is exceptional, exactly what I had in mind! She was very patient and provided excellent advice. I highly recommend "Les cousettes fantastiques" and Marie's great professionalism.

(In the end, we found a larger version of the original wrap, but it hasn't been decided yet what we'll do with it... to be continued, as they say.)

Marie initially bought a pair of children's booties from me that I had sewn for my shop, then asked me to make a pair of booties for her... Finally, two pairs of matching low-cut slippers for her husband, who was jealous of hers, and their youngest to have ones “like daddy's.“

Marion's favorite

At the end of 2023, I offered to make Marion a custom piece using a fabric she had admired in my shop to thank her for graciously allowing me to test her coaching services. A piece that fits her like a glove and perfectly embodies her style and personality.

Common questions

Is there a right time to start, or can I take as long as I need?

There's no good or bad time, only your own.

For a babywearing wrap, it can be transformed as soon as babywearing ends, or much later, once you've missed it enough to want to see it in a new form. For a loved one's clothing, there's no rush either: some people contact me a few weeks after a bereavement, others several years later. Take whatever time you need, I'll be here when you're ready.

Are technical fabrics (sport, dance, running) as sturdy as a classic fabric once transformed?

It depends on the fabric, but in most cases, yes. The stretch and fineness of some of these materials (lycra, softshell or technical jersey, for example) are actually an asset for kinusaiga panels, and conversely, they're compensated for very well in leatherwork with reinforcements (interfacing, lining), just like any other delicate textile. These fabrics also tend to have excellent resistance to abrasion and friction, which is a real plus for bags and wallets.

We talk it through together during the discovery call.

Do you offer support for a wedding, before, during or after the ceremony?

Yes, a wedding is a moment I can support at several stages.

Before or during the ceremony, we can create a fashion or décor piece carrying the presence of an absent or deceased parent, or matching pieces where each partner wears a little of the other's fabric. Afterwards, the dress or suit can become a bag, a wallet or, if you'd rather have something to display than to wear, a kinusaiga panel: the wedding fabrics take the shape of a wall piece, to keep on display in your home rather than folded away in a garment bag.
