Ah, the ring sling fiasco. Ok, not so much a fiasco as a slight accident but I was stupidly upset at the time. Funny how I became so attached to this (big) scrap of fabric...
I was taking Frank out for a walk in the park - she was still pretty small so was in the buggy and the sling was in the base under her seat. Off we went, round about and then home again. Her pa came home at the same time so I took the dog straight out in the same direction... Only to discover the sling (that I didn't know I'd lost) lying in the main driveway to Wythenshawe Park - busted. One of the rings was totally shot the other, oddly left unscathed ; )
It's been stuffed into my sewing pile every since waiting for me to decide just what to do with it. For about a year and a half. Of course, I didn't know there'd be a baby # 2 then! Now though, I knew turquoise would be a fine choice and snapped up a pair of rings pronto! I purposefully didn't sew in exactly the same line as it had been originally as I though it might be a bit weaker. And yes, I matched the thread to the rings and I think it's even the same yarn I used for the sling I made from scratch too!
Can't wait to get the little fella in here (and out of me)!

Thank you Anna! I actually used this website when I was making the purple floral sling for Frankie (way back when). It has reminded me though that I've promised to make her a dolly sling for xmas ; )
