Have I mentioned that I am cheap? I hate to pay a lot of money for something that I can make myself. I think this comes from the fact that my mom used to do stuff like this. Mind you if I can't make it, I am willing to pay for it, but if it is simple enough to make, I will do it myself.
This is one of those things that I decided to make myself. I really like my Ergo, but my little buddy boy is starting to suck on the sides. So following the directions from this lovely blog
Lu Bird Baby, I sewed myself up a pair of suck pads rather than buy some. My sewing skills are not amazing, but if it is a straight-line, I can do that.

| Cotton knit front, Fleece back |
I made a minor modification as I used fleece for the backing instead of the terry cloth as I didn't have any on hand. Since this will go in his mouth I do want to make a set made out of all cotton. Well I did make a set, but I screwed up my sewing on that one as they turned out two different sizes so it went into the reject pile.
I realize that my colours of blues are a little off so next time I am at a fabric store, I will try to find a colour that blends with my Ergo better.
