Tales of a Crafty Mommy

I also got some fabric to make a nursing cover! :) Yay for breastfeeding and for a nice cover to feel comfortable and not exposed. I forgot to get one material for it, however, the boning. What does that mean? *Grinning as I type this* will get to back to the store! The next step will be to wash all my fabric and iron it. Then I'll be able to get started.
