making your own bedding?

anyone making your own crib bedding? i haven't found any sets i loved (that weren't $500!) so my mom offered to make it for us - and i'm going to try & help. any tips on where to find good/cheap patterns and/or fabric. i want something kinda modern/funky.

TIA!

Re: making your own bedding?

  • i don't have the sewing skills to do it myself, but i'm thinking of going cutsom. if you google you can find amazing fabric collections online. look at fingers and toes on etsy for inspiration - she lists the designers she gets her fabrics from so if you find one you like, you can then search for their site and possibly find more.
  • I found some that I liked at Hobby Lobby and a few others at a fabric store where my parents live... We still don't know if we are going to find out what the baby is so I am a bit undecisive as to what to get.

  • have you checked out etsy.com? they have a lot of really great handmade bedding.
  • I'm making my own and will make my own pattern too.

    Walmart has a good selection of fabric. 

  • Mom and I are going shopping today to get material.

    We are doing a black and white set, so getting fabric at Joann's or any other craft store will work.

    As far as patterns go.... I think I will do w/o. We are making the bumber and skirt, maybe a sheet and I'm good at looking at an item and knowing how to sew it.

    We are also covering the pads on my glider to match... no patters for that either.

    GL!!

  • I'm about halfway done with mine. I bought my fabric at Hancock Fabrics but I'm not sure if you have one of those. I didn't use a pattern at all. I know you can find instructions online for free. Just do a google search.

  • My mother and I are making ours as well ... check your town for discount fabric stores rather than big companies like JoAnnes ect that are over priced!
