Hélène's babywearing wrap N° : SM-014

Hélène, a very loyal customer, contacted me to sew her a second hooded bomber, this time without a lining. In the end, a jacket with a fantastic look and a perfect fit.

Hélène, a very loyal customer, contacted me to sew her a second hooded bomber, this time without a lining.
She was undecided between several babywearing wrap scraps, so we discussed what would be most appropriate in terms of blends, patterns, colors, and agreed on this stunning wrap from Oscha, whose design was perfectly suited for a beautiful back panel.

Since her measurements hadn't changed, I immediately started cutting while searching high and low for the perfect shade of purple for the facings and pockets.
I also decided to add a “clean finish” strip at the collar to make the connection with the hood more comfortable in the absence of the usual collar.

In the end, a jacket with a fantastic look and a perfect fit.

Common questions

"I’m afraid it won’t be ready in time for an event"

Artisanal creation takes time, but I can adjust the schedule, advise a design compatible with your deadline, and keep you informed at every step.
For ready-to-ship pieces, I ship within 12 hours and can arrange express delivery (Colissimo free of charge, Chronopost 10 a.m. option).

How much fabric do I need to provide?

It depends entirely on the piece you choose, but here are some concrete reference points:

  • Pocket mirror (Ocebo'): a 6×6 cm piece is enough;
  • Coin purse, wallet: roughly 20×20 cm to 40×30 cm depending on the model;
  • Clutch, compact crossbody: approximately 40×40 cm to 60×60 cm;
  • Medium-sized bag: from 50×80 cm upwards, depending on the silhouette;
  • Slippers (size EU 38): 21×60 cm for the low version, 55×92 cm for the ankle version;
  • Bomber jacket (size EU 38): 1.1 m × width (65 cm min) without sleeves, 2.2 m with.

A question I often hear about newborns: is a onesie or a small square of baby clothing enough? Yes, more than enough for a small piece (Ocebo', coin purse); for a larger bag, it's completed with a compatible fabric, always with your approval. There's also the Signature finish from the Essentials range, which makes it possible to use several small pieces together.
And of course, several fabrics can be combined too (the same person's clothes from different periods, or several siblings' garments, for example).

The good news: I also work with small pieces. If your fabric is on the tight side, certain finishes allow me to cut in free or geometric shapes and waste almost nothing. We work it out together during the discovery call, before any decisions are made.

And if you're not sure exactly how much fabric you have? Just take a photo, bring it to our first chat, and we'll figure out what's possible.

"I can’t afford it"

Payment in 4 installments is possible.
For bespoke orders, I can also spread the creation stages over several months.
