Nursing covers

Being pregnant has shifted my project focus drastically. I also have about 6 friends & 3 family members who are or have been pregnant in the last year so I have been looking at new crafts and sewing projects, one of which is a nursing cover. I made this one for a friend and am planing on making a few more for other friends as well. I tend to make things up as I go so I have a hard time taking pictures of each step and recording my process. However, I have many more to make so now that I know what I'm doing I can more easily make a step by step tutorial for you in the near future.

It's really fun being able to make each one unique and special to fit everyone's style and personality, like this one with flowers and unique buttons. This particular design only takes one yard of fabric, one set of D rings, and 18 in. of boning. All this cost around $10 (depending on the price of your fabric) so it is much cheaper to make one than buying one from pretty much anywhere. You could also add ribbon or rickrack around the edges, use contrasting thread or even add pockets on the inside. There are so many possibilities!
