Mia and I love our Lillebaby carrier!! We use it all the time now. Up till now I thought it was kind of silly when people put on what they called "suck pads" on the carrier to keep the baby from nomming on the straps. That was until here recently when my baby just loves to chew everything in site. The straps on our carriers now have baby slobber stains, lol. Lesson learned.... I decided to search around and price the "suck pads." Etsy has some wonderful people who will gladly make them for you and ship them for about $8-$20 for pre-made or $30-$50 for custom. I really wanted the curved style "suck pads" with some extra ribbon tags, a bib would be great for in a few weeks when we can forward face. So I was looking at spending $40 for what I wanted. A little too much for one item that my baby was just going to slobber and chew on. Instead I decided to try my hand at making my own for much cheaper by using this pattern I got from Fabric Ninja for $8.25. Materials Needed:
ProcessThe Suck Pad Pattern comes with a cut out pattern that you can attach to the fabric and then cutout which makes the process incredibly easy. The instructions are a little tricky when putting them together especially when dealing with two different fabrics. Once you figure out the correct way to lay the fabric and pin it together then it easy to sew and then flip inside out. I added extra ribbon tags for Mia to play with. I think they turned out pretty well and I am excited to try them out with some other fabric so I can create my own collection.
