Humpty Dumpty the Nursery Rhyme Egg Embroidered Iron On $6.99 |
Sewing your own crib bedding?
I can't find crib bedding in what I want to do the nursery in. So I was wondering if anyone had every sewed their own bumper, skirt, and comforter. Is it hard? Is there anywhere that has patterns to use? How much fabric? What's the best type of fabric to use? Thanks so much for your time!
I've heard a little about bumpers being unsafe. But generally the crib is the focal point of the room with the crib set, so if you can't use that what do you do to make the nursery cute?
It's not very hard no. Just time consuming. You need to find the right pattern at any fabric store. On the back of the pattern is a list of recommended fabrics. I don't know where you live but if you have a Joann's fabric store or my favorite is Hancock fabrics (only cause I worked there). Anyone working can help you with what you want. They have pattern books you can look at and so many fabrics to use. I think you may want to stick with just cotton of flannel though. It's recommended to wash and dry the fabric before sewing do to shrinkage. Not everyone tells you that. also, what is the theme of your nursery? Maybe I can find something for you.
