Breast feeding cover
Can someone please direct me to a pattern for a breast feeding cover. It has a strap that goes over your head and covers the entire baby. The picture I saw of one looks pretty simple to do, but I would rather work with a pattern if need be. Thank you all for your help

I googled 'breast feeding cover pattern" and dozens came up. Here's one from youtube:

Hadn't seen these. Are you sure the recipient would use it? Anything that might be interpreted by a new mother as an unasked for opinion on how she should feed her baby is, in my experience, one of the things most likely to get a negative reaction.

My daughter has one that she used when she was going to be feeding her daughters away from home. Her's was store bought. I had never seen one before I saw hers. I nursed all my children but just used a receiving blanket thrown over my shoulder when I nursed away from home.

Having been a nursing mom (ages ago! LOL), I agree with Another Phyllis. Most nursing moms tend to supply plenty of heat, on their own. Unless she's planning to nurse the baby in a blizzard, I'd make the cover-up lightweight!
