No-sew mai tei style asian baby carrier

Saw this pattern on mamatoto for a no-sew mai tei style asian baby carrier, and thought it had to be worth a go!! Bought myself 2m of fleece for 12 quid and this is the result...























I'd advise if anyone is trying this, buy the least stretchy fleece you can find - fleece is great as it doesn't need any hems - hence the no-sew bit!!



Oh, and use LOADS of pins to pin the pattern on the long edges of straps, that would have made life a bit easier for me!



I adapted the pattern a bit from the original, and have only been able to try it with a doll so far, but from reviews I've read on other sites of this pattern people are carrying up to about 20lb babies in this and the style is suitable from birth...
