Maybe it was the “girls online” discussing their many recent sewing projects that made me feel guilty, but I have caught the sewing bug again. Yes, my hobbies rotate quite frequently, but it keeps life interesting. So when I came across this free pattern for a “boppy”-style nursing pillow, I thought “why not?”. I have been meaning to make or buy one for this baby anyway, and the only reason I hadn’t done so already is because I really didn’t feel like shelling out $20 some dollars for a pillow!
Really, you should make one of these if you have a baby on the way, are nursing, or just learning to sew. They make great gifts for new and expecting mothers, and the best thing is it’s so cheap to sew your own! I made mine from some fabric I already had lying around. My only regret is not stuffing it a little more, which would be an easy fix.
Of all the bugs you could catch, the sewing bug is a really safe bet! Your boppy looks great. My DIL recently had a baby boy, and I made three covers for her old boppy out of boy-baby looking flannel. She loved them. Without clicking on the link, that looks like the pattern I used.
I hope you keep the sewing bug. Sewing is good for the spirit.
I love to sew, why had I not thought of just making boppys instead of buying them!
I love to sew, why had I not thought of just making boppys instead of buying them! Great job
Thank you so much for the great pattern! My son was born earlier this year (he’s my first), and I really wanted a boppy for him, but they are so expensive! This is a great & more affordable alternative! I am thrilled, thanks again!
I can’t find the pattern for the boppy pillow.
