You said you didn't see the chest clip because you cross the straps and have another chest clip. How is your chest clip made ? My Boba & Ergo were both sewn on and I'd love to rig a removable one for my Mei tai.

If you make it 3" taller, then shorten the straps the same amount. You should still be able to cross the straps as long as they're adjustable and you leave plenty of length on the webbing straps to shorten and lengthen as needed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459304962116432715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928550040456961536.post-62966751302113686322016-12-09T08:39:33.449-08:002016-12-09T08:39:33.449-08:00Hi!

I'm going to make a toddler size as well, I know you said you forgot to shorten the straps but it worked out because you're 6'1 and cross them...what would the measurements be if I also want to cross them but 5'4? Do you think I need to shorten still or keep the length (keeping the taller panel).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112587270117732267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928550040456961536.post-28777590739102796402016-11-03T17:48:03.210-07:002016-11-03T17:48:03.210-07:00Hahahaha, you rock, Mindy!

The pattern is great, I just needed to put it in my own words so that it made sense to someone (me) who has NOT being sewing since she was 4 years old. I have owned several SSC's and my homemade one was every bit as comfortable as the pricey ones. Maybe not quite as fabulous looking but I like it.

The only thing I recall reading somewhere was that you have to download it first and then open it once it's on your computer. Don't just open it online. That seems to fix the printing issue, but you'd have to ask the creators of the pattern.
