now one of the last carrier manufacturers in the USA who does
custom work, including custom fitting and appliques, plus offers
a carrier that will fit up to an average sized 7 year old
(popular for kids with special needs). There was a lot of red
tape with product testing several years back and hundreds of
carrier manufacturers folded instead of paying the large fees
for testing. I stuck it out because my dh was in nursing school
and it was our livelihood. I've made about 2000 (all by hand
and one of a kind/custom) and sent them all over the world, so
I'm pretty proud of it. I feel a little squeamish about listing
the name here. That said, I'm not sure I "like" to sew. While
I appreciate that I am good at it, my mom was a home-ec teacher
and MADE me learn. It does pay the bills.

money. Someday...someday....

I had to go back and change my rating for this to "Winner!" -
the fact that you're doing custom carriers up to sizes for 7
year old's for special needs/physically handicapped is simply
brilliant, and I for one am so thankful that you didn't give up
and fold as most of the other companies did, and went through
with having your products tested is just TEH AWESOMENESS on the
coolest product design I've seen in years.
Thank you so much for showing us this, it's an amazing thing to
see in this day and age! ;) :-*
