What Carrier Should I Make?

That's kind of a big question. Let's start here:

  • How much sewing experience do you have?
  • How much babywearing experience do you have?
  • Do you have a newborn?
  • Do you have a toddler/preschooler?
  • Do you live in a particularly hot climate?
  • How much versatility do you need out of this one carrier?
