I haven't tried the internet yet...I am being lazy and thought I would try here first. I am looking for an easy pattern for a "nursing cover". Some call it a Hooter Hider...
My cousin is expecting twins and I thought it would be a neat gift, but they are crazy expensive. Looking for a cheap alternative.
Thanks for any help!

Hi there. I've been lurking here for about a week now and I actually have something to contribute today! ;)

I made this for myself (free tute from Prudent Baby blog):

It was so very easy!

These are great! I had to settle for a baby blanket thrown over my shoulder.

I can still see my BIL (who has passed) coming into the room with a huge smile saying "Oh this is the new baby?" and me responding, "Yes, but I am feeding him!" panicing.

He got about a foot away before it hit him. Both of his children were bottle fed.

Modern conveniences!! :) :) :)

I have a number of shawls, so I just used to wear one when out with the small people.

This one is really pretty! I hadn't thought of just adding straps to a blanket for nursing. I was going to do something similar to a quilt to keep it attached to the stroller so it doesn't slip out the bottom...but never got around to it.
I used a large flannel recieving blanket to nurse my daughter. But when she got to a certain age, she decided she didn't like anything over her head and so she used to pull it off...not fun in the mall...

Thanks to everyone who helped! You guys are awesome! I will start on one of these right away! I have a few months until the twins are due, so a little time.

You guys made my night!
