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.)

Common questions

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.

What kinds of objects can you create, beyond bags and wallets?

Probably more than you'd imagine!

Here's what I can make from your sentimental fabrics:

Leather goods: backpack, crossbody, belt bag, handbag, sling bag, travel bag, tote, clutch, pouch, coin purse, wallet...

Accessories: pocket mirror (Ocebo'), babywearing mirror (Coucou Hibou), tie...

Textile/clothing: bomber jacket (child or adult), low slippers or ankle booties (sizes EU 25 to 47)...

Textile art: kinusaiga panel — a Japanese craft technique, very graphic, which transforms your fabrics into a framed wall piece.

If you have an idea that's not on this list, bring it up anyway. I haven't yet met a request I couldn't find some way to approach — and if I genuinely can't make it work, I'll tell you honestly from our very first conversation.

"I can’t picture it / I don’t know what I want"

I can send samples, provide sketches or diagrams, and discuss via video call or at the studio to clarify your wishes.
Together we refine every detail until we find the shape, material, and colors that truly reflect you.
