Linda from Craftaholics Anonymous shares a free pattern for a nursing cover. I’m sure you’ve seen these in the nursery boutique-y stores. It’s a lightweight cotton cover that ties around your neck, with boning at the top so you can check on baby while remaining covered. It includes a pocket off to one side to hold a shield, breast pads, or other small items. It’d make a great baby shower gift! Go to Craftaholics Anonymous to download the pattern and get the tutorial.

I’m trying to find a simple nursing cover pattern. I found this one but all it does is give me the material I’m a first time sewer where can I find the directions to put the pieces together?
The post that I linked to does gives full directions to make the cover. Good luck on your first sewing project! –Anne
