This is what we started with.
Cute, but not for a girl...
I wanted Em to have something cute and original...
and cheap.
haha
My sweet mother did all the measurements..
We took it in the craft room and got to work..
.
.
Can you see how amazing her table is??
Makes projects like this one WAY EASIER!!
Took the material I got at last years black Friday sale.
I didn't know I was going to have a girl then or what I was
going to do with it...
But it sure came in handy that we had just enough!
We made it to be like a pillow case...
That way we didn't ruin the previous bumper.
Added the ties and sewed it together!
Next we needed a ruffle.
I knew the kids would be sharing a room so
I wanted to add a lot of the green in.
Measuring this was hard..
After sewing a running stitch at the top...
the tighter you pull the smaller it gets.
So we re-measured and re-measured a lot.
Then pinned and sewed it all together!
DO you want to see it all finished?????
well you can...
Monday
Love the colors. Can't wait to see how it looks finished. :)

ReplyDeleteI can't believe how great you are. Delta loves hers so much ... she asks me all the time when she's going to meet her Aunt Julie. And I really really miss living with you. Lucas never crochets....
