Custom Nursery Bedding?

[CloverMouse]

Yes indeed... Mainly because the only set I can find is $774 and that's a bit excessive I think!

So I was frustrated and about to give up and register for something I hated when I had a brilliant idea... MIL is a great seamstress, and she's already making a quilt for baby, why not have her make the cribskirt and bumper pads as well?

So I started searching for patterns and you wouldnt believe how many sites I found! So Now I"m itching to buy a crib so we can get started on making the bedding! So now I get my not pink, not baby blue, not green set, It will be Navy and white dots or stripes or some pattern I like (to stimulate baby's brain b/c they can see the contrast) and Yellow

SOOO HAPPY


Anyone else attempting this?

You should post some of the better sites you found. Our crib is irregularly shaped (DH's grandpa made it) and I'm having one heck of a time finding stuff to fit. I've been pretty convinced I'll have to make my own stuff for it, and have been too intimidated to even try looking around. :S

Im making a baby quilt but not having bumper pads or skirt on mine. x

I'm not personally doing this, but my mum did make a quilt and bumper set for my sister years ago when she had her babies. She's also made cot sheets which were used by my SIL for her little girls which I now have and they are still in wonderful condition.

I do have a friend who is having a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt made for me as a gift, this will be single kids bed size though for when my little boy is older.

It's a great idea!

These are the sites I thought looked pretty straight forward.... But I am not a seamstress lol.

I haven't been able to find hardly any bedding that I like. Navy with polka dots sounds lovely! xo

here's my favorite DIY ... https://sew4home.com/projects/bed-linens/907-citron-a-gray-nursery-4 there are other tutorials for this nursery bedding set (sheets, bumper,comforter) but you will have to search it up in that website (keyword: citron nursery )

I was admiring a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt on ebay this morning that was handmade :O if its that one its gorgeous.

I think I will probably go down the same route. I am yet to see a bedding set I actually like, let alone one I am willing to have in my house! LOL

Sounds like a fun project too as I wanted to start sewing again!

What about something like this set? With a yellow blanket?

mad_but_glad I did find that set, and I really like it, but I think MIL could make one I like just as much for much much cheaper, $400 is still pretty steep for my budget

 

[mad_but_glad]

I agree the prices are a little much! Ill let you know if i see anymore for cheaper!

 

[CloverMouse]

Thank you!

 

[mad_but_glad]

your welcome a custom made set would be nice but I would be too impatient to wait lol.

 

[mad_but_glad]

Hmm not sure if this works for you but I love how bright it is!

I couldn't find anything I liked for my first. I ended up making a quilt and crib skirt - We didn't use the bumpers.

 

[CloverMouse]

MadButGlad - those are cute and up my alley, but a bit more boyish than I like... I'm really stuck on the navy and yellow (which also sounds a bit boyish, but i have my mind set it's neutral lol)

 

[mad_but_glad]

Haha navy and yellow could deffinitly work for both I agree the last was pretty boyish but so cute so I figured I would show you!
