I really want to get a nursing cover this time, as I really want to be able to comfortably nurse in public. Namely, church. While it won't be a problem for the pastor (my hubby) I don't want to expose myself to the rest of the congregation.
I'm really handy with a sewing machine, so a pattern that would work for that, such as a shawl or the like, I could do.
I don't like the 'apron' type covers. The design just doesn't appeal to me. I really like this, but I wanted to get one that's cotton, so that the poor kid can breathe! I thought of making one, but not sure as to the dimensions.
What sort of nursing covers have you used and liked?
Part of the reason I want to make my own, is that I don't want to broadcast that I am nursing, some of the colors are so loud! But I want more coverage than a shirt, at least at first.

You may get more replies in the "Got Mommy's Milk" thread ... all the gals over there are breastfeeding, and would probably have a bunch of input for you.

I thought a thought, but the thought I thought wasn't the thought I thought I'd thought. So then I thought when I think a think, I'll write it down in pen and ink.

Someone posted instructions for the "Hooter Hider" the other day. I am planning to try to make one of those.

Here are the instructions to make a Hooter Hider or the much classier name of Bebe au Lait.

I don't care for those as much. I don't know, feels too much like an apron.
I am considering getting a bella band from ebay and using that postpardum for nursing when I am out. That way belly is covered.
