Why is it reversible?

The reversibility came by accident. Sewing a nursing cover like the ones you see everywhere would mean a lot of pressing of seams or purchasing a serger. Pressing seams is time consuming. Buying and learning how to use a serger was not in the cards at the time. So I decided it would be reversible. Coordinating fabrics merging together to give options for the mom and ease of sewing for myself. I received countless comments from moms who were given a Baumshell cover. They gained more confidence nursing in public with a little extra weight to drape over the baby and themselves. They liked the stability and durability of the cover. The one comment expressed time and time again is how much their babies loved the cover. They would get excited for feeding time because they knew what was coming as soon as they saw the cover. It made sense. Babies enjoy colorful patterns. Look at all the newborn toys....colorful, fun patterns. Who would have known what began as an easy way to sew a nursing cover would have turned into a stylish and positive nursing experience for both mom and baby? A win, win situation.

  1. So true! I LOVE my Baumshell and would even be tempted to have more kids - JUST to be able to use my Baumshell again. :) j/k The reversibility is fantastic because I often get bored with the same thing all the time and it's nice for mom (and baby) to have some variety.

  2. To piggy back on Mindy's comment I would be tempted to have more kids to get MORE Baumshell's :) I just came across this from Mindy's blog and was excited! Vange sees my Baumshell's and freaks out with excitement... but now at 9 months she is finally to that point where she wants to pull off 20 times to see whats going on around her, its a love/ hate relationship with the BS... but unfortunate for her, her mother isn't fond of flashing in public. The Baumshell ROCKS!
