I Did It!
I found a Pattern off the internet, (and successfully followed it)
And Made this.
Okay, I know it’s basically a rectangle with straps.
But these were very important straps….
Ones that required exact placement 1/4 of the way to the center….
And Boning and D Rings were involved….
(Don’t worry, I had never heard of them either)
Here is a close up of the “Peek-a-Boo” feature:
It’s extra stiff and makes a half moon, so you can see your child:
I’m so proud to have gotten it done.
Seriously, I put this on and I feel soooooo Chic.
Now I can look down on all the other Mom’s who are covering themselves with their children’s blankets.
That’s Soooooo 90′s.
(I’m totally kidding….seriously….read my post from yesterday)
I’ve never used an actual Nursing Cover before, so I’m really interested to see which is better.
Now, I’m off to find a pattern for making bibs…..
I so want something unique and fabulous for my little guy to puke all over.
LOL
I just want to say the nursing cover you made is fab!
I love the fabric you picked out, DARLING! And boning is NO JOKE!
I used to sell the brand versions of those covers at the natural mothering
store I worked at. The boning is to allow you to make eye contact with
your baby while still being covered. It’s comfortable because you made
it adjustable with the D rings and you don’t have to worry about fixing it
like you would a blanket. I hope you LOVE what you just made. I think
those kinds of covers are the best!
GREAT JOB!!!
My mom made me a cover exactly like that and I used a bought one
with K when he was young. It rocks!!!! It is SO easy to nurse in public with it, I even walked around Target the other day with my family while nursing Ladybug!!!
