I think the best gift for a moth­er-to-be is a sewing machine and/or sewing lessons. There are so many baby and mater­ni­ty projects a new moth­er can sew to save mon­ey and enjoy the moment!

Here is a super easy tuto­r­i­al on how to con­vert an old (or new clear­ance) bra into a nurs­ing bra. The nurs­ing bra clips are very inex­pen­sive and the DIY sewing project takes less than 10 mins.

Sewing Tuto­r­i­al Instructions:

Step 1:

Gath­er the bras you want to con­vert into nurs­ing bras. Mea­sure the width of the straps to choose your clip size. Most clips are made for 1/2″ or 5/8″ straps. (Most of my bras need­ed the 5/8″ clips.)

Step 2:

The bra clip attach­ments are added just above the the bra cups. Cut each strap about 1/2″ above the cup.

Step 3:

Each strap will use 1 set of clips. (You need 2 sets per bra.) The clips with the hook are attached to the long straps that come over the back. The oth­er clips are added to the 1/2″ strap above the cup. Pin the clips in place. (See photos.)

Step 5: There is a loop at the bot­tom of the top (hook) clip. This loop allows you to add an anchor strap, a strap attached to the top (hook) clip and front of bra. (I did­n’t think the anchor straps were nec­es­sary or com­fort­able, so I skipped them.)
