Welcome to Sleepy Dust Designs! Handmade, unique babywearing accessories and baby items. I work from home and all items are handmade by me in my home office.

Sleepy Dust Designs is a small business that specializes in handmade baby carrier accessories, wrap scrap creations and baby items. Sleepy Dust Designs opened in 2017, but is a branch of my original business, The Traveling Tot. I began making and selling baby carrier accessories in my other Etsy shop in 2011 and have expanded my products over the last few years. As my business grew, I made the dec

ision to branch off to create a separate brand for baby accessories, babywearing items and wrap scrap creations. You will still find all of the same beautiful accessories, quality, and attention to detail as I have always offered! I am a mom to 4 children - 3 daughters and 1 son, ranging in ages 2-10. I am passionate about babywearing, cloth diapering and pretty much fall into a "crunchy" and "attached parent" category based on our lifestyle and parenting. I'm married to my wonderful and supportive husband, Zane, and we live in a small town just outside of Lansing, MI. RETAILERS:

Cotton + Steel, RPC and Ruby Star Society fabrics - For Sale

10/12/2024

Hi everyone!

I feel it’s time to make an official announcement - I am taking a break from my Etsy shop, possibly an extended break or I will be closing my shop altogether. I still have a lot of fabric and materials and I haven’t decided yet if I want to try to use it and make ready to ship items or just sell it off.

For those concerned, this is not a bad thing for me! I have found my Etsy shop to be increasingly more stressful to run as a business over the last few years. It’s time to take things in a different direction for my career and I now have 2 part time jobs while also finishing up my college degree. This just takes too much of my time along with managing a family and household.

I do currently have some items that are ready to ship and for sale in my shop. I am not taking orders for made to order items or custom items.

Please reach out on this page or in my Etsy shop if you have any questions! ❤️

*NEW!*
Wildbird Aerial Bib/Toppers and Hoods are now available in my Etsy shop!

• Wildbird Aerial Bib/Topper - This bib covers the headrest of your Aerial carrier to protect and style your carrier. The bib fits snuggly over the headrest and snaps below the straps to secure it. Headrest can be used in the up or down position while the bib is on. While the Aerial is not a front-facing carrier, this bib does have moderate absorbancy for babies who turn their heads to suck or chew on the front of the carrier.

• Wildbird Aerial Hood - This flat hood was designed to specifically fit the Aerial carrier. Straps on the bottom of the hood have hidden elastic, to tightly fit around the straps and help it stay put. Added length to the bottom of the hood gives coverage at the bottom and prevents gapping. Two attached reach straps snap around the loops on the straps of the carrier when the hood is in use.

These can both be made in the large variety of fabrics shown in my Etsy shop!

✨ Straight or Curved Suck/Drool Pads on the Wildbird Aerial? ✨
Let’s talk about the Wildbird Aerial and suck/drool pad fit. This carrier has a more uniquely shaped strap because it tapers to the base of the strap. Even though it’s not uncommon for baby carrier straps not to be a consistent width, this one causes more suck pad fit issues. Straight suck pads will work on this carrier but there is a lot of gapping at the base of the strap. I found that curved suck pads fit well though, and the curved part helps to hold the suck pads in place. My recommendation: curved suck pads fit best on this carrier.
I hope to soon start on a straight suck pad design that will fit the more unique shape of this strap!

That moment when you realize that the bib that you made has held up for 10 years!
On the left is my daughter (now 12 years old) using the Tidy Tot Big Bib, on the right is my nephew using the exact same bib. Between my 2 youngest children and my nephew and niece, 4 children have used this bib for over 10 years. How is that for a testimonial?! 😮

Should I bring back the Tidy Tot Big Bibs?
