Nursing Cover Fabric

I bought new fabric a few weeks ago. Now that school is out, I'm finally getting some use out of it. Half of my purchases are already claimed for specific people but here are the three that remain.



You can also look back at my April 1st post to see other available fabric. I've used the back left and the front two middle ones already.

Green Paisley

Here is my newest creation for a good friend with a two-day-old baby boy. I stayed up sewing last night while Dan was working late at the office.

Line 'Em Up

This fabric bolt was just shy of the 1.25 yards of fabric I need to make a nursing cover and matching burp cloth but I could not pass it by. I think I might do more with linear because it looks so clean when you're done. With only a sliver of fabric left over after completing the nursing cover I had to modify the burp cloth, but I ended up liking it a lot with the single strip down the middle.

Welcome

If you are viewing this it means you made it to my new blog! Thanks for checking it out. I'm hoping this will make it easier for people to find my sewing projects.

I will no longer be posting my projects our family blog so make sure to add this site to your list if you want to keep up with what I've been working on.

Linda's Shower

I went to lunch at Blackstone with my friends from playgroup on Monday...without any kiddos. We celebrated Linda's soon arriving baby #2. It's harder to have an adult conversation during playgroup now that the kids are getting older. We spent almost two hours enjoying good food and chatting before heading home.

I enjoyed making decorations, etc. even though I have been busy with the end of the school year.

Linear Fabric

Here's the newest nursing cover I made. My sister-in-law had me make it for a friend of hers.



Now that our family room is done, I have a large place to sit while I cut and pin fabric...in front of the TV. I've found that it's much easier to do lots of cutting and pinning at one time. That way I have a lot of sewing to do at once. I've feared using linear fabric in the past but it actually went pretty well. Mistakes are more noticeable, but you've also got the line on the fabric to follow for your hem. The verdict is still out on whether or not I liked using the linear fabric.

The school year is nearing it's end and I'm looking forward to having more time this summer for sewing. Hopefully that will mean adding a few new projects to my repertoire.

Available Fabric

I've had a few people request nursing covers recently so I thought I'd re-post the fabric I have available. If you want to take a look at any previous nursing covers you can click on "nursing cover" at the bottom of this post. You may be able to see a better picture of some of the fabrics this way. You can also click on the photo in this post to view a larger picture. Let me know if you're interested.
