Nursing Cover

Lately I've been feeling the pressure of getting everything ready for babies while I'm still a little bit mobile (well, barely). A month or two ago I noticed that my friend, Kristy, had this darling nursing cover that made nursing in public so much more convenient. It's basically a large piece of fabric with a neck strap (like an apron) but it also has boning at the top so you can peek down and check on baby and still be modest. No more trying to keep a blanket over you while the baby pulls it off!

I went home and looked them up at Bebe Au Lait and they were selling for $35-$40 and I thought, "I can make that!" So, here's the result of my little project. I'm really happy with how it turned out. You can't see from the front but on the backside of each lower corner, I sewed in little pockets where I can put binkies or nursing pads, etc. The entire project cost me around $14. Yay!
