Elsa's babywearing wrap N° : SM-031

Elsa wanted a round backpack that could be worn in multiple ways and had plenty of storage. Once the pattern was chosen, and after numerous adventures, this highly technical backpack now accompanies her on most of her outings.

Elsa wanted a round backpack that could be worn in multiple ways and had plenty of storage.
After I presented several pattern options, her choice settled on this flap model, which is convertible and features a zippered compartment at the bottom.

The initially chosen babywearing wrap scrap didn't arrive on time (due to the Ukrainian conflict), so we selected another one that she liked just as much. It complements the 100% organic cotton canvas and the originally chosen gold hardware beautifully.

Common questions

What kinds of objects can you create, beyond bags and wallets?

Probably more than you'd imagine!

Here's what I can make from your sentimental fabrics:

Leather goods: backpack, crossbody, belt bag, handbag, sling bag, travel bag, tote, clutch, pouch, coin purse, wallet...

Accessories: pocket mirror (Ocebo'), babywearing mirror (Coucou Hibou), tie...

Textile/clothing: bomber jacket (child or adult), low slippers or ankle booties (sizes EU 25 to 47)...

Textile art: Kinusaiga panel, a Japanese craft technique, very graphic, which transforms your fabrics into a framed wall piece.

If you have an idea that's not on this list, bring it up anyway. I haven't yet met a request I couldn't find some way to approach. And if I genuinely can't make it work, I'll tell you honestly from our very first conversation.

Can I order a bespoke transformation as a gift for someone?

Yes, and it's one of the most thoughtful gifts I've seen people give.

Offering someone a piece made from a fabric that belongs to them (or that belonged to a loved one) is a rare and deeply considered gesture. It takes a little organisation, but it's entirely doable.

A few practical points:

  • You contact me and manage the whole project: the recipient doesn't need to be involved if you want to keep the surprise;
  • You'll need to get hold of the fabric discreetly;
  • I can help you choose the right model if you're unsure what would suit the person best;
  • A thoughtful gift wrap can be arranged on request.

Tell me about your idea during a discovery call, and together we'll imagine something truly unforgettable.

Is there a right time to start, or can I take as long as I need?

There's no good or bad time, only your own.

For a babywearing wrap, it can be transformed as soon as babywearing ends, or much later, once you've missed it enough to want to see it in a new form. For a loved one's clothing, there's no rush either: some people contact me a few weeks after a bereavement, others several years later. Take whatever time you need, I'll be here when you're ready.
