Nursing cover with boning

I made another nursing cover similar to the last one, however, this time I added some boning to the top of it. By adding the boning, you can keep an eye on your little one as they nurse, and it helps to keep the cover off their face. I also hear it is good for a little ventilation since it gets really warm under there. For the boning, I actually just used the underwire from an old bra I was going to throw out anyway. It works perfectly! Plus, it saved me from buying boning.

Another change I made, was by using a ribbon to make the adjustable neck strap instead of making it out of the fabric. I just used a ribbon that was tied around a baby blanket I received at a baby shower. So I didn't even have to buy it! All these little things add up and help make this nursing cover just that more inexpensive. 

To make this one, I did everything the same in my previous post up until I went to sew the seam across the top. I measured out to find the middle (16 1/2" on this one) and make a slight mark on the fabric. I then began to stitch the seam and stitched until I was a few inches past the mark. As you can see in this picture, my finger is pointing out the middle and the light mark I made and I stopped sewing a few inches past. 

I then inserted the boning wire in the seam and finished sewing the top seam. 

After the top seam was complete, I re-centered the boning wire and made a vertical stitch on the seam to prevent the wire from sliding around. 

Again, I made the adjustable neck strap the exact same way as last time. I just simply used ribbon instead of making a strap from the fabric. I saved a lot of time when making this one by using the ribbon. I stitched the ribbon to the nursing cover just a few inches on each side of the boning wire. 

Voila! A super quick, inexpensive nursing cover!!
