I went to the fabric store, found a really cute fabric, had the saleswoman there cut out the 26 inches that you said we needed, and then sent it to my mom in Arizona (I'm in MI) to make it for me. She just called saying that there wasn't enough fabric because when the width is folded in half for the two sides, it came up short...<br /><br />I'm kind of bummed! She's going to go out and find a solid color for the back of the boppy cover that will blend well with the cute pattern that I picked out. Hopefully it still looks cute!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953624278687989772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572123771877095028.post-61231791876918225712013-01-30T13:22:21.765-08:002013-01-30T13:22:21.765-08:00Katie,

When I sew it on and turn it inside out, the zipper have like an inch or two from where the zipper ends from the end of the fabric. It is like a hole! What did I do wrong?

I just cut two of the front (whole boppy pieces) and then cut one of those to accommodate the zipper. Hope that helps!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815609714657186934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572123771877095028.post-22291046563137318712012-11-09T21:08:14.523-08:002012-11-09T21:08:14.523-08:00Katie,
