These are from one of our craft group days....Emily Perkes brought in directions on how to make nursing covers! There were many moms that have been dying to know how to make these including me.
Directions straight from EmilyCut Material: - one piece 37 1/2 inches wide and 28 inches long
- Two piece 24 inches long and 4 inches wide for the ties
- One piece of stiff plastic 16 inches long and one inch wide (strips from plastic floor runners, gallon ice cream pail handles, or boning found at Porter's fabric section or at Joann Fabrics)
Ties: fold material in half with right side to the inside. Sew close to the edge---on one end, begin a diagonal 4 inches from the end- to the point. (This makes the end of the tie) Inside out the ties-using a scissors end to get the "point" as sharp as possible. Iron---then attatch to cover-up part.
Cover-up part: Sew small seams on both sides and then bottom of large piece.
Fold over hem on the top---large enough for the plastic piece to slide through-make sure you allow for the seam line as well. ****If there is a selvage at this end, you do not need to fold a hem underneath-fold over 1 1/2 in and then make a 1/4 inch seam. ****If no selvage, turn over a bit to form the hem, but be sure you still have a 1 1/2 of a "sleeve" to pull the plastic through.
Put the 16 inch piece of plastic or boning directly in the middle of the top, then attach the ties (the two 24 inch pieces) immediately on either side of the plastic. Sew the ties on all four sides across the hemmed down part and the tapers of the tie toward the outer edge of the cover-up.
Doesn't make sense contact Emily Perkes or I bet Shalee Weston or Bekka Hansen would be glad to help you out.
OR see this other blog for help with pictures, but theirs is double sided and a little more fancy.
