Anyone Wanna Help Me Re-Do an Ergo??

[Shelsi]

When it comes to sewing and stuff I am useless. I'm looking to see if anyone could do a dye job and maybe add some new fabric to my old faded ergo. There's a lady who does it, her website is called pimpmycarrier.com but I'm basically on the waiting list to get on the waiting list at the moment. I am wanting this for my dh. He's currently deployed but will be home in a few weeks. I think one of the best ways for him to re-bond with dd will be to wear her a lot. He thinks the carriers I have right now are too girly though. So that's why I was hoping to dye the ergo and find some "manly" fabric to add to it.

Can anyone help me out or direct me to someone who could?

That woman who does the pimpmycarriers does an awesome job. How long is her wait list? It might be worth it to wait!!

If not, here is an Ergo re-vamp post that talks about dyeing and adding fabric:

Hey thanks! I wonder if I could have it dyed and then just find someone who can sew. I could attempt it myself but I think it will just be a disaster. Seriously, dh does the sewing around here when it's needed lol.

If anyone is interested in attempting to help me out I'd pay you for your work/time. It's an old ergo so if the thing turns out horrible I wouldn't freak out.
