Nursing Cover

So as many of you may know, my friend Erin was pregnant.  Well her little poppy, know known as Nathan, (I'm in love) made his debut on Feb 16th!  She was planning on breast feeding from the beginning and I offered to make a nursing cover for her. We took a trip to JoAnn's to pick out some fabric and Erin fell in love with 3 patterns, so I made it work!  Here is it :)

Not sure if you can tell by this picture, but it has boning in the middle of the top so Momma can peak in and make sure her little man is on task and it also has adjustable straps so she can decided how high or low she wants the top

I'm pretty excited because I learned how to make hidden seams for this!  When Erin fell in love with using the three patterns, I was worried because typically when I sew different fabrics together, the ends are loose on the inside.  Which is normally ok for blankets and things because no one sees the inside.  But I couldn't have little frayed ends hanging in Nathan's face! 

So here's a little how-to on making hidden seams :)

Ok first, you put your fabric WRONG SIDE together.  The main piece of fabric should be on the bottom and the border piece should be on top.  

Then you fold both fabrics up as far as you want your seam.  I used a 1/2 inch.  Do this the entire length of your fabric, pinning it in place along the way. 

Next, you flip it over the fabric so both RIGHT SIDES of the fabric are facing up.  This is where it gets a little tricky because you'll have to gently pull the pins out and re-pin it so the fabric can lie flat. 

Next, you sew it one stitch on the RIGHT side of the fabric, then flip it over and sew another stitch on the WRONG side.  This will anchor your hidden seams and it will look like this :)  

This is the back!  So proud, no frayed ends in Nathan's face!
