I guess people call it nesting...I just call it getting ready.
My grandma is working on a baby quilt for this little guy and I thought...I should do a crib skirt. Since our baby room is pretty small, I will be maximizing all the storage space I can-which includes under the crib. I don't want people walking in and seeing all the stuff shoved under there (because let's be honest...I'm sure it won't be as organized as I would like). So, I decided to buy some fabric, look at some
tutorials on pinterest and make my own bed skirt.
So without further adieu...
 |
| measure the length of the crib...the width of the crib (times that by 2) and how tall you want the skirt to be... |
| |
Mine was 27.5 w x 52 l x 16 tall
 |
| measure the base fabric (this is like the sheet that everything is sewn to and sits below the mattress) |
 |
| measure your fabric and allow for 1"seam allowance.. |
 |
| iron all fabrics |
 |
| pin down the hems.. |
 |
| lay it out to make sure it looks pretty |
 |
| sew hems, then sew base to each side of skirt (remember...right sides together) |
 |
| after all sides are sewn to base...put it in the crib...pretty good fit I think |
 |
| finished product. front view |
 |
| close up on the corners... |
 |
| side view... |
All in all it was pretty easy. It took me maybe a little over an hour. I got my fabric at
Quilts Etc. It was a little pricey, but it totally fits the room.
Total Cost: $26
Time: 1 hour
