I made a couple different ones and then ended up creating my own pattern. It's a contoured body, with a padded top, and wrap style shoulders(no padding or turning,ect) oh and a padded waist band/tie. I have made them for gifts. You will find they are so much more comfy than the store bought carriers. I can still wear my toddler and it doesn't kill my back or shoulders. With my store bought one I was lucky to make it past 3 months wearing the kids. <br />You can also wear them on your back and side! I love baby carriers and wearing my babies.<br /><br />Now you will have to make a baby wearing poncho. I have a tute for that(I did not create it) if you want.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980224652761150060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-52137361246691435612010-11-27T14:01:38.870-08:002010-11-27T14:01:38.870-08:00It's such a beautiful mei tai, and it looks li...It's such a beautiful mei tai, and it looks like it will be comfortable!

It...Luci, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! It *still* looks like "My Tie" to me, but I'm working on it :-) And I love your verification word, too funny! :-)<br /><br />Mary, thank you! :-) As for your question, it kind of depends on what type of nightgown. Typically, when I'm applying lace to an edge, I make sure the edge of the garment has a narrow hem. Then I take the lace, slide it right under the edge of the hem, and stitch it by hand or by machine. So the right side of the lace is touching the "wrong side" of the garment. But again, this depends on the garment. Hope that helps! Anyone else have other ideas?<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Shannon~ Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882650511821959701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-46823521176810219832010-11-06T08:27:12.740-07:002010-11-06T08:27:12.740-07:00Oh, Shannon!

As a beginner sewwer, I was wondering, I'm sewing a simple nightgown, and I'm supposed to put lace around the neck and sleeves, and I wanted to know how to sew the lace on. Do you sew it on top, or onto the bottom, or with the right sides together?
