Wrap Conversion and custom carriers -
menu of design features and labour costs
HOW TO BOOK:
Wrap conversion and custom baby carriers are made up on a waiting list system which is usually 2 - 3 weeks long. Please contact me to book a slot.
Once I have booked you onto the list, I will send you an order form for all the design details. I will then contact you again to confirm all the details shortly before I make a start.
WRAP LENGTH:
Please note that the "Minimum wrap length" that is stated for each carrier is just a guide. A longer wrap may well be required for carriers with sleep hoods, other optional extras, or for wraps with specific patterns that require pattern matching. Please confirm with me what size wrap you will need after you have chosen all your options.
LAUNDERING:
- If you are sending a brand new wrap, please wash it at least once to avoid future shrinkage of the fabric. If you are sending a used wrap, please ensure that it is clean. If I need to wash a wrap before starting work on it, I will charge a £5 laundering fee.
WRAP SCRAPS:
- I will automatically return any wrap scraps above a few inches in size. If you either have no need for your scraps and are happy for me to keep them for future applique work or, alternatively, you would prefer me to return every snippet, please let me know.
RETURN POSTAGE:
- All custom-made carriers will be returned by Royal Mail Special Delivery or International tracked and Signed and charged at cost.
Please see our DESIGN FEATURES page for help with choosing your options.
Please see or Wrap Conversions Gallery page for examples of previous work.

(these will allow you to shorten the height of the body panel by a couple of inches - not really necessary with a rollable waistband
- Width cinchers: +£5
(these will allow you to reduce the width of the body panel, at the level of baby's knees, by a couple of inches to avoid over-spreading).
- Leg padding + £5
(a cushioned area on each side of the carrier body to cushion the baby's legs)
- Accessory/Toy loop + £2
(a small fabric loop at the shoulder strap insertion for attaching a toy or dummy etc)
carrier sizes
Carriers are available in several sizes.
If the carrier has a waistband, the height is measured from the top of the waistband (so does not include the waistband measurement), to the flat top edge of the carrier (so does not include the rounded headrest).
If the carrier is an apron-style carrier, the body panel will be longer than stated below to make up the extra length needed to fold the base of the carrier up.
The width is measured at the level of the leg padding, about 1.5" above the waistband.
Width cinchers and Height cinchers can be added to all carriers (except Podaegis). These will reduce the dimensions by a couple of inches on each side so that you can be sure to get a perfect fit.

Throws/Blankets:
(these are made by cutting the wrap in half lengthways, and sewing the two halves together with a flat fell seam to create a double wrap-width blanket. The tapered ends are then removed and hemmed. A Size 6 wrap, or longer, is required).
- Simple, single-layered blanket/throw: £15
- Double-layered blanket lined with cream cuddle plush fabric: £30
Baby accessories:
- Suck Pads: + £8 / £12
These are Kam-snap closing pads that wrap around the shoulder straps of your carrier.
They have an inner layer of organic batting to soak up the drool and reverse to plain white terry towelling.
They are recommended if you have a baby who is still at the sucking/teething stage to protect your carrier straps and minimise the need for washing the carrier.
There are two shapes to choose from:
- Straight suck pads (rectangular in shape that wrap around the shoulder strap only): £8
- Curved suck pads (these curve up at the sides so that they fit snugly over the top of the body panel as well as the shoulder straps. Recommended if you choose a carrier with a headrest): £12
If there isn't enough of your own wrap left to make the suck pads, you may order plain suck pads made from Pouchlings' own Honeycomb Loom woven wrap fabric or buy them direct from the sling shop.

APPLIQUE AND FREE-MOTION EMBROIDERY:

Please visit the Wrap Conversion Gallery to see more examples of artwork
Would you like to make your carrier truly unique with some beautiful, personalised artwork?
I specialise in applique and free-motion embroidery (also known as thread painting) and am happy to discuss design ideas with you.
All artwork is done by hand and the thread painting is hand-steered (no computerised patterns here!).
- Applique is charged at £10 per hour of sewing, plus £10 for designing, drawing up the templates, bondaweb, stabiliser, fabric and threads.
- Artwork may be entirely in applique; entirely in free-motion embroidery or a combination of both. I may use either wrap scraps, quilting cottons or silk dupion for any applique.
- Embroidery is done with my usual Gutterman sewing threads or Gutterman Sulky, and highlights may be added with metallic or holographic threads.
- Rough estimates are anything from £15 - £30 for small hood decoration and £20 - £150 for body decoration.
Prices will vary according to the complexity of the design and small motifs may be charged individually rather than by the hour.
- If you know what you want, please send me a sketch, or email me an image. If you cannot give me exact dimensions, please accept that there will be a certain amount of "artistic licence" at my end and you may not get exactly what you picture in your own mind!
