For plus-size – do I just need more fabric? Like 1.5 yards or something? I’ve haven’t sewn anything since high school but I’ve bought nursing covers that don’t fit and want to make one for myself that actually fits for my son coming in 3 weeks…

In reply to Pam. Not with this. It needs to be stretchy in order to work as a nursing cover. But I promise that it will be easy! You're only sewing one straight line!

Can quilters cotton be used instead of a knit fabric? I’m new to sewing and intimidated by sewing with a knit material.

In reply to Megan. Yes! It's perfect! I had that problem with my first cover that just covered up my front, but this one covered everything! I loved it!

In reply to Jennifer. Did you find the cover to be long enough on the sides? I always felt with my other cover I was showing everyone my sides.

In reply to Sara. Nope, just the one seam! I mean you could sew the opposite side, too, but it wouldn't give you as much freedom to move around under the cover, which is a big part of why it works so well!

In reply to Chelsea Johnson. Did you also see the opposite side of the fold ( so you had a bottom and top opening? Then sewed halfway for head hole? Or just one seam (the 15 inch)

In reply to Audrey. Nope. I sewed one of the sides adjacent to the fold. So fold it in half with the fold on the right side, then sew it along the top from the left side (the opposite side of the fold) in towards where the fold is. You want the opening to be next to the fold.

So you sewed the long side ( opposite of the fold) 3/4 way leaving raw edge opening for head? Is this correct?
