Nursing my babies has always been important to me. But clothing for a nursing mom has never been fashionable. It is a need that needs to be filled. Layering is a big thing these days and Nursing tanks are no exception. I bought a tank top specifically for breastfeeding online and totally love it. But it only came in 2 colors. So the other day when Gal pal of mine called and said Down East was having a closeout sale on there clothing. Nothing over $10. So I stopped. They had cami’s 2 for $5. So I picked up a few and made my own breastfeeding tanks in under 15 minutes and less than $10.
Nursing Tank Tutorial
1 Tank Top
1 set of swim suit/bra hooks
Unpick the back straps and cut the front leaving about 11/2 inches of strap.
Next thread your bra hooks through the straps. Make sure the hook faces inside.
Next fold the strap to the wrong side of the tank and stitch strap.
Your done. Now use the bra hook to slide it into the nursing cup. This will be just below the clasp you unhook to nurse.
Now make one in every color you and two in your favorite colors. I promise you won’t be disappointed. These tanks are the perfect answer to breastfeeding.

I just tried this and it is genius! Especially since the downeast tanks seem to give more coverage than most nursing tanks. I’m buying more hooks and making more!
I can’t see the pictures but am very interested in what you did! Is there a way to fix the pics for me?? Thanks!
