Hooter Hiders

I have a lot of creative and crafty friends. I used to think that I was creative and crafty but I realized that the world has moved past my skills that led me to win a poster competition in the 4th grade. However, I have recently been motivated by all of the cool DIY projects that have been going around. Particularly, when I realized how much this baby stuff costs - and how easy (at least at first appearance) it would be to make it! So.....my first project is going to be a hooter hider (aka, a nursing cover). I really liked the "bebe au lait" style that a friend of mine sent me and then after a quick search found that someone went to the trouble of posting a tutorial on how to copy this exact style!

So, my plan is to try and hunt down the materials (I'm going to get fancy and try to do a reversible cover) and make it happen! If it doesn't work, you'll discreetly notice that the real babe au lait has made an appearance on my registry.

  1. see, a "nursing cover" sounds much better than a hooter cover. i totally thought your canadian was coming out and you misspelled "hoover" and were trying to cover a vaccuum.

    i smell a DIY'er in the making!
