The Sock Monkey Ergo Insert (Picture Tutorial)


It's hard to believe my twins are 3 months old already! We made a second insert for the brown Ergo back in August, but I was soooo pregnant that I didn't feel like sitting at the computer to upload the pics. In celebration of an eight hour block of sleep (thank you dear sweet husband), here are the pics that I promised. I found the monkey fabric at Hobby Lobby...love that place!

Read my previous post and get the pattern here.

Jelma, over at Confessions of a Thriftoholic, posted pictures of her new insert here.


Cutting out the curve


Straightening the edges



Cutting out the batting


Layering before sewing


Wow, I was sooooo preggo!


Stuffing




Making and attaching bias tape





Overlapping the bottom edge & tacking by hand



Cube construction





Insert the cube (it is not attached, because you can remove the pillow to use with olde babies later)
