Recently a friend got in touch to ask me if I would make her a fashionable looking necklace that would be suitable to wear when she is breastfeeding her new baby. She needed it to be tug resistant, not too easy to break and also good at distracting the baby during feeding.
A lot of my recent necklaces are very delicate so they would be no good for the task and I didn't feel that babies should spend their time putting chains in their mouth so I knew the beads needed to be on something more baby friendly.
I had lots of ribbon left over and some great new turquoise blue beads. But I like an asymmetrical necklace so I knew the other side should be a chunky and durable chain to offset the beads. I'm pretty pleased with the result, it took a while and a few times to weave the ribbon into the chain and I like the fact that you can swap sides each time you breastfeed as a little reminder.
Mind this would be perfect for any person, not just new mums
