Hooter hiders

I am a huge breastfeeding advocate. I'm thankful that it came so easily to me and that each of my kids and I were able to have a very nurturing breastfeeding relationship during those first long months (o.k. in our case, years!) of life! Unfortunately, I never discovered the genius idea that is hooter hiders until it was too late. I am not sure my kids would have loved them (the blanket over their head was definitely not their favorite thing!), but for some women, I can see how these are godsends. Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I took the idea and made my own.
I love that there is boning in the neckline so that the parties involved that need to see in, can see in!
Often times I will make a matching burp cloth to go with the hooter hiders. Who doesn't love something matching?!

I even make sure I add the little terrycloth pocket in the corner. I remember the days of breast pads and this is a great place to store them during feeding time. That or, use it for the pacifier, nipple shield, you name it! Plus if your little one spits up or has a little drool you can use the corner to wipe up any small messes! Below you will find a few of my in-stock prints. If you are interested in buying, just let me know. I sell them for $25

  1. I make nursing covers too - it blows me away that people pay $40 for the mass produced ones! Do you sew a "square" into the terry pocket, or just leave it as a triangle? I've found that sometimes the straight triangle can catch on things more than when I sew two lines into it (I use a 4x6 index card as a guide) to keep it in place but still hold the nursing pads. (I also use the awesome Alexander Henry pink flower fabric - it's one of my top sellers!)

    I also offer covers w/o the terry pocket for $3 less - it saves me a little time in making them and saves others a little money in buying them if they don't think they'll need the pocket.
