I design easy sew patterns with extra information for those new to sewing. Patterns listed as “experienced beginner” means it is expected that you know how to follow a pattern and how to operate your sewing machine.

I would recommend the Easy Toy Onbuhimo as a first sewing project.

The Buckle Onbuhimo Toddler Carrier and the Onbuhimo Toy Doll Carrier are listed as “intermediate” given the increased skill required for sewing through layers of foam and fabric.

I aim to make patterns that can be sewn on most home sewing machines. You don’t need a fancy machine and with the right fabric, foam and needle choices, you should be able to sew my patterns on any machine.

Are you looking at buying a new sewing machine and want to get the most bang for your buck? Check out "Which sewing machine do I need?" on my blog for key features of different sewing machines.

Yes, you are welcome to sell toy and other items, that are not babywearing carriers, made from my patterns. I ask that you include a note about the item being a ‘Baby Bonda Productions Design’ on the tag and a link to my website “www.babybondaproductions.com” or to “www.babybondaproductions.etsy.com” in online listings.

If you would like to sell babywearing carriers made from my patterns, please contact me first as there are additional considerations to address.

Carrier compliance with safety regulations is based on much more than the pattern. It encompasses compliance of materials used in construction, tracking of finished products, labeling and physical testing of the product. It is not required, nor is it feasible, for a sewing pattern to be compliant. If you are planning on selling babywearing carriers, I highly recommend you join BCIA (Baby Carrier Industry Alliance) for information on meeting baby carrier regulations.

Due to the nature of PDF patterns all sales are final and may not be returned. Each pattern listings states that this is a pattern, not a finished item and it is stated several other places in my shop. I do welcome suggestions on how to improve listings to clarify the item is a pattern, not a finished item.
