Embers Crib bedding

CRIB BEDDING REDO

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

  12. I 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....
