Create a dreamy baby wearing vest for men + women, by converting our popular Trailblazer vest into a stunning baby-wearing garment.  The two nifty "zip in" panels - for both baby-wearing and pregnancy - can be removed when not required for a truly versatile garment.

Skill Level: Adventurous beginner - Intermediate 

• Baby/toddler carry cover panel 
• Maternity panel - wear your Trailblazer vest through pregnancy to birth
• Men's + women's carry panels included in the one add-on.

Please note: The Nestledown babywearing vest is not a stand alone carrier. The vest must be worn combined with a front wearing carrier as it does NOT hold the baby on its own!

Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with upcycled fabrics.
