My nursing covers have a lined, terrycloth pocket to put keep your nursing pads or baby's pacifier. You can use the pocket to wipe baby's mouth. They have removable boning for ease of washing and a snap in strap so you don't mess up your hair! (Patent pending for these design features.)
I used the leftover fabric to make a cute drawstring bag to store your nursing cover.
The other things I have been working on for myself and my friend are wetbags for our cloth diapers.
Using your saved plastic grocery bags will work for a while, but that gets old rather quickly, so I came up with a design for a wetbag to store your dirty diapers/clothes and wetwipes in that's washable and reusable. My wetbags have a waterproof PUL inner that is sewn separately from the outer to prevent wicking. I also sew with polyester thread and a polyester zipper to prevent wicking and leaks. My bags feature a strap that opens up so you can snap it to your stroller handle if you want. The outer is a high quality boutique cotton. Easy to care for, just turn it inside out and throw it into the wash with your diapers. Dry on Medium.
This one is a large and will hold 4-6 diapers. It has a bubblegum pink zipper and topstitching and pink snap on the handle. Too cute!!
I am setting up an Etsy shop to begin selling my creations on a larger scale. Stay tuned!
And here is one of my all time favorite creations. Fiona just turned 7 months, has started sitting up on her own and got her first tooth a few days ago! Yes, the play/craft room had gone a bit crazy while I was sewing like mad. 7 wetbags, 2 nursing covers, and 2 drawstring bags later . . .




What a brilliant idea, Britt...as they say, necessity is the mother of invention or is the mother of invention, necessity. Either way, this is such a practical useful item. Kudos to you!
