A Custom Designed Uppymama Wrap

Working with customers to create custom designed wraps is pure delight.

It is a gift to be part of a family’s story.

When Uppymama started weaving wraps in 2010 our process was so personal.

In the early days of Uppymama, Becky would meet with a client for an in-home babywearing consult and discuss the wrap they would like woven for them. Becky would take the design pictures, stories and ideas to the weaver so she could begin planning.

“Uppymama takes such care to ensure the the important elements of each design story find a place in the finished wrap.” – Becky

The process of designing a custom wrap with Uppymama begins with submitting design ideas and often photos so that Becky can select the colours that best speak to the image.

Becky communicates closely with the customer sending photos of thread cones to come up with an approved palette.

The design of the wrap is discussed in detail, weft colour options and embellishment details are finalized. Once the weaving notes are complete, the weaver will make the warp and begin the loom dressing and weaving process.

When a custom design wrap is ordered the loom is warped to create twenty-one meters finished and hemmed wraps. The customer will work with Becky to decide what lengths, fibers and details will best suit their needs. Some options for the allocation of the wraps can include:

a long wrap the right length for mom
a long wrap the right length for dad
a shorter wrap for more advanced babywearing
a ring sling
a short wrap for labor and birthing
a matching diaper bag
a matching tote bag
felted wool material for bags and accessories

Fibres available for weft options are: cotton and linen which is available in several colours to compliment the warp as well as wool and silk (available in natural). We have also created matching doll wraps for our customers in the past as well as fabric to be converted into most structured carriers by our seamstress. (additional costs apply.)

Once the wraps are woven, hand finished and labeled they are ready to ship to the customer.

The custom design package includes babywearing support consultations with Becky either in person (if location allows) or via internet video conference.

The best part of the entire custom design process is when we get to see pictures of your babies in your new Custom Uppy. F27H0kWOTX3Cs0eJlU_YmEd9AKtGHWPCBRhtuIlgtYI[1]

“Uppymama has seen quite a bit of expansion since the early days when every wrap was a custom designed wrap but our passion for every wrap and every wrapped baby is still the same.” – Becky

Our custom wrap list is currently closed but stay tuned, we will have some custom designed wrap opportunities available in the near future.
