I wanted to say that http://crafts.sleepingbaby.net/ has been an invaluable resourse for my baby carriers. Jan is awesome and willing to help out in any way!

Well I seem to always be too busy working on projects or playing with my kids to get photos uploaded to her. So here is a link to all the sewing projects I have done up to date. I'm sure a few have been left out, but you get the idea.
This is a ring sling that i just made for my friend. I hope she likes it. Sebastien enjoyed his test drive. LOL.

Well I thought I'd give this a try. I am trying to find an easier way to show off all the wonderful things I make. I hope you like it.

A little intro...
I am Julia, Maman to 4 wonderful kids and wife to my wonderful Dh Luc. I am a SAHM who's hobbies include webpage design, photo editing, reading, and talking to the many wonderful friends I have made online.
My Favorite hobby has to be Sewing though. It all started a couple of years ago when I wanted a way to protect my baby from the germs that are on shopping carts. I bought a pattern from my local sewing store and tried to make it. Well it was horrible. LOL. My pitiful attempts at sewing combined with a hard to follow pattern really did not look nice, although it worked. Well I wanted something better and something that had more than just one use. I fiddled around and was often seen at the local grocer with my measuring tape, worked out a design I liked and "VOILA" my shopping cart cover/playmat was born. From there things really took off. I made ringslings, Mei Tai's, pouches and carseat covers. Then I moved on to blankets and toy slings for my kids. I am always looking for new things to make and love to play around with patterns to come up with something unique and beautiful.
In the next few weeks I will be posting pictures of all the things I have made I hope you enjoy looking at them. Some of them I custom make for other and some are just made for me. If you have any questions or are interesting in purchasing something you can e-mail me at nugglemama@hotmail.com

Here is a picture of me at my sewing machine.
