7th Birthday Custom

We are so excited to once again work closely with a group to help create their own special and meaningful colorway! Group members will be involved in each step of the process... from participating in the design and threading order, to making weft selections and watching their design come to life as we share exclusive behind the scenes looks from start to finish. The winning group may also name this custom warp.

As in years past, please note that this is not a “full” custom. Our goal is to provide a custom experience for the winners while keeping with the recognizable Meeyoo aesthetic. In order to achieve this, we have set a few guidelines outlined below.

* Meeyoo will work with winner(s) to determine desired lengths (up to 20m total if winner(s) choose to purchase up to 4 additional meters at auction price per meter). Upon request, Meeyoo will divide the length into no more than 6 pieces. If your group has more than six members, you will be responsible for combining sections and cutting after you receive the pieces. Meeyoo will hem up to five pieces.
* As always, Meeyoo fabric is handwoven and finished by Angel + Cameo using Maurice Brassard 100% cotton. All of the custom hand-dyed yarns will also be available for this custom experience. All Meeyoo wraps are woven in plain weave.
* The winning group may submit up to six inspiration photos and/or colorway ideas to Meeyoo. These can be photos, illustrations, sketches, mockup cards, etc. Angel and Cameo will then work with the group to come up with designs based on the inspiration provided. (Please note that we will not duplicate any previously woven Meeyoo colorways. We will not reference any other weaver's designs, and we have the right to refuse any designs/colorways that we see as referencing another weaver's design.)
* Meeyoo will test up to 12 colors. Final weft selections will be limited to one color per piece (up to six pieces). Additionally, tail accents are only allowed on finished (hemmed) wraps longer than 4.2m.
* We are also excited and grateful that our friends at Baby Tula have offered the option to have up to two Tulas made from this custom design. Fabric must come from the original 16 (+4) meters. No additional meterage will be woven. If this option is chosen, winner(s) will work directly with Meeyoo in selecting size (half or full FTG, half or full standard, half or full toddler or half preschool) and placement (limited to choosing which rail is up). Conversion fee of $300 per Tula to be paid directly to Baby Tula. Meeyoo + Tula will cover all shipping costs.
* If you plan to send your piece to a SSC converter, we can ship directly to the converter on your behalf if you wish. We can also hang bobbin changes off of the selvedges upon request. SSC converters will receive a chick tag. If you choose to have your piece converted into a RS, it must be sent directly to a converter brand new from the manufacturer (Meeyoo). RS pieces will include a large Meeyoo tag and smaller folded chick tag along with all other required paperwork.
* Additionally, each group member (up to 6 members) will receive a Stalk Free Pass to be used on any ready-made wrap scrap item made from this design.
* Though the group may name this design. The name must be one word and Meeyoo will have final approval.
* This design will not be exclusive to the auction winner(s) and additional items may be made and sold by Meeyoo.

Journey is the experience of living life through all of its ups and downs. So much meaning in one small word. Everyone has their own ‘Journey,” and each is as important as anothers’. But what’s most important are the people you take with you on your ‘Journey.’ Those who stand beside you, those who hold you up when you can’t stand, and those who celebrate your victories. Your SISTERS. I personally couldn’t have a better group of sisters. The friendships that I have gained through my babywearing ‘Journey’ here in Meeyoo Lovers, I will forever be thankful for. There are no words. I am so thankful to have these ladies by my side to share my ‘Journey’ with. Through babywearing, motherhood and life as a whole. I was blessed big in the beginning of 2020 with the birth of the twins. We celebrated. There were countless late-night chats. March brought us the pandemic, and there were times all we had was each other as we Journeyed through lockdown with kids. Supporting each other from afar as loved ones experienced covid 19 firsthand, and while we adjusted to the new normal of remote learning, mask wearing, grocery pickups and constant hand washing. Nothing was certain, but our love and support for one another. We grew stronger and closer. Then in October the unexpected happened. My sweet son was diagnosed with cancer. A ‘Journey’ I never thought would be my own. My sisters have been by my side every step of the way, and because of them, I’ve never felt alone in this ‘Journey.’ What better way to solidify our sisterhood, made possible through our love of babywearing than a custom wrap? When the opportunity presented itself, we knew we had to be all in. We had nothing to lose, but so much to gain and boy has it been worth it!! This ‘Journey’ has exceeded all my expectations and is exactly what my soul needed to close the door on 2020 and welcome 2021 head on. I am hopeful and optimistic that 2021 will be better, but I know wherever the ‘Journey’ takes us, we will have each other and for that I am forever grateful. Cheers to 2021 and all that is to come!!
