I love my Boba 3G! So does B, she loves to suck on the straps, I want my carrier to last awhile so I needed a solution. I could of bought suck pads but being the DIY girl that I am I decided to make my own. And this is what I did;
Needed Supplies:
Flannel fabric
Cotton batting
scissors
soft tape
Velcro (I used 1" wide)
Sewing machine
Iron
Fabric glue
I always prewash fabric. Then make sure your fabric is nice and square
Measure your straps where the suck pads would go. I add two inches to all sides.
Cut out four pieces of fabric.
Cut out two pieces of cotton batting to fit in the middle of your fabric.
I then folded in the edges 1/2 inch and ironed them flat. I put wrong sides together and then pinned and topstitched the entire thing
Now to add the velcro. You want the velcro on opposite sides of the fabric. What I like to do is before you put the velcro on, fold it around the strap of your carrier to determine velcro placement. I like to use fabric glue to attach the velcro and then use a zig zag stitch to permanently attach the velcro.
I ran some decorative stitches of the area where the cotton batting is to prevent bunching during washing. But after that your done! I hope your baby enjoys the suck pads!
