Tell us a little about your business/products.
100Knots baby sling carriers are made with lots of love and care by a proffesional
moddeler/designer and a mom of 3.
When did you start your business?
I’ve started my business almost 4 years ago.
Tell us how you discovered babywearing and what impact it’s had on
you.
I’ve discovered babywearing by recomendation from a friend. I ordered couple of slings, and loved babywearing. It made my life so much easier.
What led you to start your business?
I could not find the sling which is comfortable enough. I have a back injury, and no sling was good enough…I made my own sling, and had lots of people asking me to make them the same sling…That led to improving that model of sling, and starting to sell it.
What motivates you in your business and what makes it enjoyable for you?
The best satisfaction is when someone who just discovered babywearing writes me a letter telling how much they enjoy babywearing…Sometimes the letters I recieve are so touching, they put tears in my eyes…
What do you find challenging about producing and/or selling baby carriers?
Hm…This is a tough one…Everything…From choosing a right thread and right fabric, to final sewing and packaging…Competing with other sellers, and answering the tricky questions about babywearing…I enjoy every bit of what I do!
What is the best thing about babywearing for you?
Babies cry less
and sleep longer
Do you have any other special interests or causes?
No.
What do you get up to in a typical day?
Waking up, caring for two toddlers and a baby, sewing a lot, going late to bed…It is a long day, and this would be a loong answer.
Do you have anything more to discuss? Not at this stage, but looking
forward in writing more about slings someday.
