Custom Crib Bedding...

Recently, we sewed crib bedding for a friend who was preparing to have her first child.  She was looking for a classy design using the neutral colors of taupe and cream.

The materials we used were from Ty Pennington...  
Home Decor Impressions Tudor Taupe
Home Decor Impressions Lace Taupe

For the design we took a basic crib bumper look, added a solid taupe ruffle around the whole top edge. We then made the ties about 1 1/2" wide so they would tie a classy bow. For the crib sheet and one side of the blanket we used a cream minky material. Minky is super soft so it is very nice for babies. The crib skirt we made a three tiered ruffle all the way around, using the three coordinating materials. 

As in most designs you never want to stick with just one material, it is always nice to have three materials that coordinate nicely. This creates a pleasing yet balanced look!

Completed Crib Bedding

Today I completed the crib bedding set. Fortunately, I was able to get some pictures using Eloise's crib to display the masterpiece. 

Crib Bumpers...Baby Boy Overalls and Hat

This past week I've been working on a set of crib bumpers. We are copying this set because our customer loved it but didn't want it to be silk (not very practical for a baby :-) so we made them from a shantung satin to give it the look of dupioni silk but the easy care of satin. Tomorrow or Thursday I will post some finished photos of the bedding so you can see the whole picture.

Luxurious crib bedding!

Here is the set we are copying but stay tuned to see the completed set we are making!

Don't you love corduroy materials for this fall weather. This set is for a little baby boy for his pictures!

This hat is part of the overall outfit - little English boy style
