Hey....did you know that I'm having a little boy in just a few weeks? Well, I am. And I've got a house full of girly stuff. So the pink and yellow flowered slipcover for the boppy really needed to go.
Don't get me wrong, I love the boppy. I use it quite often when I'm nursing my newborns, and then even for playing when they get to that I-think-I-can-sit-but-I-really-topple-over-quite-often stage. You know the one.
Anyway, my little guy needed a slightly manly-er fabric. Well, as manly as Amy Butler fabric can get. So, here you go:
Here's where I totally messed up. I ordered about 3 inches too little fabric, so I had to piece it. You really can't tell now that it's finished, but I'd recommend just measuring correctly.
Learn how right here.
Step Six: Break out the zipper foot and sew on that zipper. I apparently didn't think you needed a photo of this.
One thing I didn't mention (or, again, photograph) is running over the seams with the serger. If you have a serger, I'd totally recommend this step. I know I'll wash this sucker quite often, so finishing the edges is important. If you don't have a serger, just do a zig-zag stitch on each seam. And then tell your nearest Santa, Easter Bunny, or Mother's-Day-Gift-Buyer that you need a serger, stat.

Cute abbey! Amy Butler's Wallflower print is one of my all time faves. It looks so cute with the piping! Perfect for your little man. :)
your cover looks better than store bought. and yes, a serger is high on my list :)
