How to make a nursing cover

posted in Nursing Covers |

I’ve noticed that people from all over the world want to know how to make nursing covers (aka hooter hiders). Look no further, I am here to help. Here is a list of items you need to make your very own nursing cover.

1. 36×24″ Fabric (when the cover is completely sewn, the size will be approx 34×22″)
2. 36×24″ Fabric for lining (Optional)
3. (2) D Rings
4. 11-12″ Boning
5. Terry cloth for corner pocket (Optional)

I would recommend buying 100% cotton fabrics because they are light weight and wash well or a fabric that doesn’t wrinkle easily.

If you are looking to purchase a nursing cover (better known as a “hooter hider”), check out my gallery page. I have hand-made, one of a kind nursing covers already made and ready to be used.

I can’t get over how inexpensive these are to make. A neighbor asked me to make her one in a funky fabric. It was easy.
I used the standard bone. Is there another kind that is more ridgid and wider?
Thanks for all of the info. You should do well with these covers. We need a better name than Hooter Hider.

I use the 1/2 inch white plastic boning called Rigilene. You can buy it on Ebay & there is one seller who will sell you just 2 yards for a very good price.
