DIY Full Coverage Nursing Cover

I don't know if you're anything like me but I really hate nursing in public. Not because there is anything shameful or uncomfortable about it, but because I don't want my love handles and postpartum baby belly hanging out for all the world to see. I saw a tutorial on Pinterest for a full coverage nursing cover that had you sew "only one line". But I've revamped it so you don't have to sew anything at all!

Supplies:
1yard knit fabric (I bought a jersey knit fabric that way it wouldn't fray)
Fabric scissors
Measuring tape

Directions:
1. Fold the fabric long ways in half
2. Trim edges of the fabric that need to be trimmed or straightened
3. Measure the folded side of the fabric and find the middle


4. From the middle out measure about 12-13inches. (for the neck hole in the center)
5. Once you've cut along the fold put the fabric on

6. Measure about how much you'd like to cut off the bottom (I cut 9inches off of mine)
7. Refold the fabric along the neck hole and cut the desired amount off the bottom
8. The end measurements of my nursing cover were 21 inches x 42 inches

I embellished the corners of the neck hole with buttons just to make it a little pretty.

Hope you enjoy your new nursing cover as much as I do!
