Recently, my colleague had trouble finding a suitable extra baby bolster cover for her daughter. I followed her into ‘Babyland’ one afternoon and I found it really odd that there was no standard sizes for baby bolster covers.
Sizes varied from S-M-L and each brand differs from another. One would have the right size but was too long, or it would be the right length but it was too narrow etc. The solution was to buy another bolster + bolster case in a set which was about a min of RM15.00 at the store. So, that brought up the opportunity to try sewing one or two for baby Isabella 🙂
We bought 1m of fabric in the end and managed to save some kaching while making more covers. This is Isabella’s old bolster cover <3 ahh the smell of it! (hehe)
Do remember to keep the edges from fraying, I used a zig-zag stitch on my sewing machine as I do not have an overlocking machine 🙂 I do know some people use a zig-zag scissors too, whichever you prefer, these are just recommended to keep the edges from fraying 🙂
Now to attach the elastic bands to your cover. Cut the desired length of elastic band and stitch them together 🙂
Insert the elastic band around the edges and sew them.
And it’s done! That’s all it took! 🙂
Have fun adding buttons or various kinds of fabrics, although a baby bolster is best kept plain and to have lesser things that they can pull off!!
p/s: Thanks Mommy for the pic!! 🙂 Here’s lil Isabella with her new bolster case <3
