I finally finished all my crafty baby projects in time for our little man’s arrival. Today sealed up the last, which was the nursing cover. I had been searching for fabric that suited my taste, while still being slightly boyish for a while now, and last night I hit the jackpot. I found an Amy Butler fabric that I had somehow missed before, or maybe it’s new, I don’t know. Either way, Fabric Depot was having a great sale, and I had coupons too, so I was a happy shopper.
Xander was a big help measuring the fabric and ironing the seams. He especially liked trying on the cover, which he thinks is a shirt. He then realized he could wear it as a cape and took of down the hall with it trailing behind him. I think he is going to be a really fun, loving big brother. Soon!
Here are a few pictures from today:

Did you happen to find this pattern on blisstree.com? I just found one on there…and I will be needing one of these after April 30 next year! I have just picked up sewing this year, but I think I will be able to manage this project – it looks simple for a beginner.

Yes! Congratulations Dawn, that is very exciting. And I did find it on bliss tree. It’s very doable for beginner sewers like me. I modified it a bit and sewed a small pocket on the front to hold nursing pads and my chapstick in, and it’s very handy. Good luck with the sewing!
