Nursing Clips for Sale!


Nursing Clips for Sale!
Originally uploaded by umgeekgirl


Under the watchful eyes of my two children, I made ten "Mommy Clips" for sale at the festival.

I was VERY happy to discover that etsy stores also sell sewing supplies. I bought these suspender clips from Funkey Monkey Supplies. The "Fingernail style" clips are a lot classier looking than the ones they sell at Joann's and I didn't have to wait until they went on sale to buy them. I am also waiting on a batch of D-rings in the mail for making baby doll slings. yay!

Breathable Bumper


Breathable Bumper - Completed
Originally uploaded by umgeekgirl

I modeled this after the One Step Ahead Breathable Bumper.

Materials:
* 72"x24" double nylon netting
* 72"x8" fabric (2 pieces) - top & bottom
* 5.5"x72" fabric (1 piece then cut in half) - sides
*12" velcro strips - 4 sets of hook & loop

Step 1: Iron all pieces - bringing sides to center and then folding in half

Step 2: Place nylon netting within the fold of the top and bottom pieces


Step 3: Sew nylon in place by stitching 1/4" from open edge and on folded edge
Step 4: Cut skinny side pieces in half and place nylon netting along center fold

Step 5: Fold up edges to create a neat corner

Step 6: Sew up along all edges of fabric side pieces (1/4" from edge)

Before velcro is placed. (above)




Step 7: Sew on velcro. Placing loop hook strip closest to corner and then loop strip after it


All done! And attached to bars.
