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.)

Morgane's babywearing wrap

Morgane is a seamstress in her spare time, but she wanted to treat herself by having two custom pieces created from a snood made from a babywearing wrap she owned. A sort of “just sit back and relax while someone else does the sewing“ kind of deal 🙂

Common questions

Can my fabric really be transformed?

Most materials (leather, wool, babywearing wraps, a loved one's clothing, sports jerseys or activewear, baby clothes and comfort toys, a wedding dress or suit
) can be reused.
During the call, I'll clearly tell you what's feasible, or not.

What's the difference between 'Essentials' and fully bespoke?

Both options use your fabric, benefit from the same care, and come with the same level of support — the difference is the starting point.

The Essentials
These are tried-and-tested pre-designed models (crossbody, coin purse, tote, slippers...) that I personalise with your materials. The silhouette is set; you choose the textiles, colours, and finishes. Perfect if you don't have a specific shape in mind yet, or if you want to keep a tighter rein on your budget. The result is still unique, because your fabrics are.

Fully bespoke
Everything is open: the shape, size, carry style, pockets, materials, threads, hardware... You can come with an existing pattern, a sketch, an inspiration photo, or just a vague idea to explore together. It's the most open-ended option — and therefore the most personal.

In both cases, we start with a discovery call so I can understand your fabric, your needs, and your vision. And in both cases, almost anything is possible.

What if my fabric is damaged?

That’s common, and most of the time it’s not a problem.
We select the usable areas and I complete with premium materials to ensure strength and durability.
