I have two baby showers this month and one lucky mom gets this cool set I made with the help of blogger: "Diary of a Quilter." My son also helped choose the material (Michael Miller Mod Blossoms and Moda Wee Woodland
) and iron it (with much enthusiasm).I bought a 14" piece of boning
and 2 D-rings
ages ago, meaning to make a nursing cover
but not ever having an opportunity. I like that they are like aprons or scarves, but you have the boning so baby can see mom while nursing. I used this tutorial, although there are a TON of them online. I modified it slightly, though.
I added a pocket on the bottom corner (for a cell phone or burp cloth or nursing pad). I did this by taking two 8" x 5" pieces of material, sewing them right sides facing and leaving a hole for turning. I turned them, then stitched across the narrower side as the top. I tried to match the pattern, then stitched it along the sides and bottom, closing the turning hole as I passed it.
Another modification was to put the boning in while I stitched the top, instead of threading it through after as she suggests. I did this because I dislike threading anything because it always takes me forever and I usually end up ripping and re-stitching something.
The second item is a dipes case.
She calls it a diaper clutch
, and has a good tutorial. I used a snap instead of velcro, but only because I have snaps and no velcro.I also made two matching burp cloths. They are cute, and one can never ever ever have too many of these.
