I decided to sew the bedding/decor set for the nursery... call me crazy, but I think I have a few good reasons: 1) It gives me something to do while waiting for baby 2) It's cheaper than the sets you can buy 3) Hopefully it will be just as cute and 4) I get to practice sewing!
Today I tackled the crib skirt. I discovered this is not as simple as it sounds..... 4 hours, 2 needle sticks, one bumped head, and about 15 conference talks later I emerged from what was beginning to feel like sewing prison with this crib skirt that actually looks decent!
Hopefully my patience and determination hold out long enough to make a valence, simple quilt, and maybe a bumper...
You have mad skills woman! Look at you nesting! Do it all now before the baby comes, you'll be too tired to do anything for a while after wards!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed Amy! When we have a baby, I might just have to have make our nursery set! You did a really good job.

So cute! You did a great job! And your photoshop job in the next picture is great too!
ReplyDeleteI love your daydream last night Amy and Jeff. I remember when I lived in Boston 53 years ago, and I had three babies in three years. I made a dust ruffle on their cribs. I put shoe boxes behind the dust ruffle and put the childrens' clothes in it. One box for stockings, underwear, diapers, etc. Because I couldn't use the closet, all three walls of the small room had a crib on each wall. It was like a circus and I made red and white stripe curtains, and painted the last wall a circus scene.
