---+ Soft Structured Carrier Tutorials SSCs are full-buckle carriers, like Ergobaby or Tula carriers. The best pattern out there is the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/223598090/ssc-pattern-the-little-pick-me-up-soft" target="_blank">SewToot Little Pick-Me-Up</a>. This is a paid pattern, but it is very thorough, well recommended, and SewToot adds you to a private support group on Facebook. The support group is a place to ask questions, as well as talk to others about modifying the pattern to best suit your needs. The SewToot can be modified to match nearly any SSC modification you desire. They even have a modification for a mesh panel for hot weather wearing! SewToot also has a newer pattern called the <a href="http://www.sewtootpatterns.com/product/the-voyager/" target="_blank">Voyager</a>, which is a less structured style of SSC worn apron-style, similar to a Connecta. It has a lot less padding, making it great for rolling up in a diaper bag, and can be made with water-safe materials to wear in the pool or at the splash pad. That said, several moms out there have offered free tutorials on their blog. A few of these are listed below. Be sure to use safe, weight-tested webbing and buckles! Buckles from camping stores are a great option. Also, before starting, I recommend reading our pages on choosing a [[SafeFabric][safe fabric]] (for SSCs, an even heavier weight of 7oz+ is recommended) and [[GeneralConstruction][general construction safety tips]]. *Free Patterns* * <a href="http://cheaperandbetterdiy.blogspot.com/2014/03/sewing-soft-structured-carrier-ssc-from.html" target="_blank">Cheaper and Better Pattern</a> * <a href="http://sewhardorgohome.blogspot.com/2014/08/toddler-sized-ssc-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Sew Hard or Go Home Pattern</a> * <a href="http://bangerlm.blogspot.com/2009/02/sew-your-own-soft-structured-carrier.html" target="_blank">Laura's Blog Pattern</a> * <a href="http://www.sewmamasew.com/2010/10/october-12-the-pea-pod-hip-carrier-tutorial-the-red-pistachio-giveaway/" target="_blank">The Pea Pod hip carrier</a> * <a href="http://mrsbethjames.blogspot.com/2013/02/guest-blogger-ring-tai-tutorial-mei-tai.html?m=1" target="_blank">Bea's World Ring Tai</a> (A mei tai/SSC hybrid using double sling rings instead of buckles) * [[%ATTACHURL%/A_SSC_Pattern_1_1-min.pdf][A_SSC_Pattern_1_1-min.pdf]] (Downloadable PDF; unknown creator.
