Ergo resizing

 Short post about the results of resizing my poopy brown Ergo to a toddler sized ergo. I also leared the finger stitch on my sewing machine and it hurts :(

Ergo Slip cover

Occasionally I like to carry my son in my Ergo. This is a Soft Structured Carrier (SSC) which is ergonomic for both you and your child. It is a very comfortable carrier to wear.

I bought mine at Ross, where I found it for $69.99 instead of the original price of $124.99

It is however poopy brown color and I don't like that. Now I could try and dye it and what not, but I think the only color I could dye this into is black. So I decided to make a slipcover for it.Since I couldn't find any tutorials out there I have come up with my own pattern.

I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby and really liked it. The idea was to make a reversible slip cover, so I can change whenever I feel like. I picked up the grey fabric from my local Walmart.

I traced my ergo with about 2 inches to spare all around and this is what I come up with.

After I had 2 grey panels cut out I cut out the giraffe fabric and the one with the balls.

I turned the fabric inside out and sewed the pieces together with a simple straight stitch.

After I have done both panels I used snaps to attach the panels to each other. I opted for this because it would be very easy to change my panels and I could use it with other SSC carriers as well.

here you can see both panels attached to each other. My ergo is in between. SO I did not have to modify my ergo at all. You also still have access to the sleep hood which is folded inside of it now, but easy accessible by opening 2 snaps on the top.
