Nursing Cover

- http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2008/12/nursing-cover.html
o 1 1/8 yard each of 2 different colors of coordinating fabric. (Go crazy....get
creative!)
o 2 - 1 1/4 inch D rings
o 14 inches of 1/2 inch wide boning (Make sure it's stiff enough to hold out your
fabric but not too stiff that it won't bend the other way when you make your
nursing cover reversible.)

- http://madebythemamamonster.blogspot.com/2008/04/nursing-cover-tutorial.html
o 1 yard of cute fabric
o 1 16 inch piece of boning

Changing Pad/Diaper Holder

o 1/2 yard Chenille, Minky, or heavy Flannel. (I prefer Chenille because it is nice and thick
without having to add extra batting)
o Thread
o Sew on Velcro
- http://ashbyfamilyblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/clutch-diaper-pocket-pad-pattern.html
o Material for the inside and outside of the pad {see pattern for deminsions} (A cute
cotton print for the outside and soft material {flannel, fleece, minky, etc} for the inside
will work wonderfully.)
o 4 inches of velcro {I used the sew-on, but I'm sure the iron on would work too.}

Baby Crinkle Square

o 6 ribbons
o Flannel
o Something crinkly.(I am using a wipes package, but clear gift wrap or microwave
popcorn wrappers are also nice and noisy.)
- http://mygratitudeattitudes.blogspot.com/2009/10/sensory-baby-tag-blanket-tutoria.html
o 9 squares, plus a backing piece about 15 1/2 inches square or so
o My squares were about 5 1/2 inches square.

o small piece (2-3 inches) of sew-on Velcro

straps (make sure to cut this with the ridges running perpendicular to the
long, 36” edge)
