I’m concerned about her lack of details in regards to sewing a baby carrier safely. While she uses Sling Rings, she crafts the shoulder of the carrier by sewing on another piece–the shoulder bears much of the baby’s weight, and this could cause the shoulder to rip. Also, there is nothing mentioned about using strong, quality thread, and the stitches needed to make sure the sling will hold. While the fabric is absolutely beautiful, the tutorial itself is very weak.

While it is true that there is a seam at the shoulder, it is double-stitched (two lines of stitching) so if the first line should fail, the second would hold. It’s also been my experience that when seams do rip, they rarely fail all of a sudden. Instead, the wearer should be able to notice strain on the seam and be able to take appropriate steps before anything rips. As with any products (handmade or store-bought) for baby, parents should pay attention to normal wear and tear to make sure that it functions properly and safely for baby.
