Easy sew instructions for crib bedding?

Lilkim2129

Does anyone know of any instructions for sewing crib bedding that are fairly easy to do and follow?  I am a beginner sewer and would like to try to make at least the bumper and skirt myself.  I have not been sewing for too long, is this too big of a project?  Any recommendations?  Thank you!

I am an occasional sewer, I wouldn't say beginner, but it takes me a while to get in the swing of it if it has been awhile..... I am starting to sew my bedding and accessories today (looks like it will be a rainy Memorial Day).

There are fairly easy patterns at JoAnn Fabrics.... also, there is a great sale there right now on all sorts of supplies and 10% off total purchase including sale items!  I don't know if it is on sale, but near the foam they have padding specifically for bumpers.

I see you are in Le Claire- I'm just across the river in Moline!

Thanks!  I'll have to go check out JoAnn's!  We just bought a house in Princeton, so just a town over.  My parents live in Silvis, so we are out and about in Moline quite a bit!

Young house love made their own skirt, and I'll be following their instructions (probably in a fabric to match my curtains:

But I second the recommendation for patterns from a fabric store. You can make really cute things for WAY cheaper than some of the places I've seen!

The Young House Love one is great!  The skirt looks very easy to make, thank you!

I made one similar to the young house love one except I actually sewed the peices instead of using fusing tape and I added a kick pleat to the front panel.  It was pretty esay and I am a very beginner.
