Last two weeks, my friends arranged a surprised baby shower for two of our lovely friends who are expecting. It was kind of a short notice and I needed to make something useful for the mums yet meaningful. I remembered my early stage of breastfeeding my son and it will always be one of the greatest moment of being a mum. So, I decided to make something related to breastfeeding and the idea of making a nursing pad comes to mind.
Easy right? Pile some flannel, PUL for waterproof and funky fabrics for the frontside and cut circles out of them. Serge all the raw edge together and voila! I made 3 pairs for each mum to be. Which was a whole lot of circles! It was quick though, and I manage to make all of them in the morning before the party. I printed a funky breastfeeding quote and slit inside the plastic too. Fun!
Well, next time you need to make something for a mum to be, try it out! Fast and easy.
Here are the two mums to be. Wish them luck!
Till then,
XOXO

What a fantastic gift. I love the slogan you put in with them too. Making milk sure is a super power.

They will love these. I made my own pads when I was nursing. Very nice gift, indeed!

Very good idea. I finally finished the project I started with you last summer the Quilt as you go. Even though I was a little frustrated with the blocks you did a great job on putting it together. It looks great on my couch. I would do another one. Thanks so much Marla
