**if you choose to use your own fabric, i advise you to look for strong, non-stretchy bottomweights like a fashion denim, twill, linen, flannel or woven stuff. light & quilter's fabrics don't make good straps, but they make fabulous bodies & liners!
send me the following measures of fabrics (but email me 1st for approval):
same fabric for entire carrier - 2.5 yards
~or~
one fabric for straps - 2 yards
separate fabric for body - 1 yard total
i will return to you any unused portion, unless you say i can keep it. there will be a $5 discount for using your own fabric.

frequently asked questions
"i'm a larger/smaller sized person, will the mei tai fit me?"
if i have anything to say about it, it will! just give me your measurements & i will adjust the strap lengths accordingly. the factor that makes a mei tai larger or smaller is not the body size, it's the strap length.
"so, what are the dimensions?"
the body is where your child sits & the standard dimensions for that part are generally 15" x 20". the body can easily be made longer to suit an older child. i usually make the upper straps about 70" long & the lower straps about 60". they can be very easily lengthened & shortened by me. the straps are 4" wide. i would be pleased to customize your carrier in any way that would be helpful for you.
"can i face my child out in a mei tai?"
i wouldn't recommend it. babies can often only take so much stimulation in an outward-facing carry before they need to retreat to the comfort of your familiar chest. it's a big world and can be overwhelming to a little one!
"i am new to babywearing; is the podegi a good carrier to start with?"
probably not. in order to become practiced & confident with tying a baby onto your body by yourself, a really good traditional carrier is a mei tai. the very long straps of the podegi can be daunting to the novice. it won't take long, however, for you to become an expert babywearer & i guarantee, once you go down that road, you will want to try every carrier out there, if only once!
"what payments do you accept?"
i prefer paypal, but i will take a money order. i do not accept cash, personal checks or echecks.
"how soon will i get my carrier?"
from the point of purchase or receipt of your fabric, i can usually get you carrier sent out in about a week. very rarely will it take longer.
"what shipping company do you use?"
for monday - friday shipments, i use the u.s. postal service. on saturdays, fed-ex. no shipping on sundays.
"what is your return policy?"
Lifetime Repair/Replace- If the carrier comes apart with regular use, I will repair it or replace it for free. Customer will pay shipping both ways. Refunds only within 30 days after shipping. Will refund only if I cannot produce a satisfactory replacement. Returns are not valid without a printed/signed/dated copy of the return form. Some shrinkage may occur during washing & drying process. If shrinkage is not desired, dry-cleaning is recommended. Over time & use, your carrier will lose it's original shape, conforming to the shape of your body & your baby.
"how about exchanges?"
yeah, we can do that. exchanges are allowed within 30 days of shipping. customer pays shipping both ways.
