June deserved a sling. Her babies are always close. I thought she'd eat it up.
The inspiration came from an old bridesmaid's dress / skirt. (Thanks, Katie.) By cutting off the bottom, it was a nice easy transformation. Still, it took a while to get it right. Brown Eyes always seemed to fall out, so I added some ribbon to the edges and thought it was a great fix.
But, this homemade creation quickly fell into a certain category: neglected. I envisioned lots of use, lots of cuddling, almost a permanent accessory. Instead, it quickly got tossed into a pile, rarely to resurface, despite all my great expectations.
Oh well. It was fun to envision its use, and it was not that big of a deal to make. Just one of many parenting lessons about moving on.
a thoughtful and good try :*)
