I cut the fabric for my carrier a few days ago, but it was getting late (pins and scissors only come out when the children are asleep) so I didn't put it together. Sewing took place last night and it went together really easily. For all that the pattern is very specific about what goes where, how wide seam allowances can be (they're usually 5/8", but this one was 3/8" or 4/8"--it's hard to tell because it was marked on the pattern but never actually written out) and what order to put things together, it was still a very simple pattern and one that I wouldn't mind doing again, for myself or as a gift. As you can see from the pictures, you can wear it on the front or back, and I made the inside a different color so that it's reversible, too. I didn't stand up for my picture so I can't say anything toward comfort, but Jonathan said that other than the 30 lb child on his back it wasn't bad--no pressure points that he could feel.
