Those are beautiful! Wish I was creative like you!!

Gorgeous! Are they Premier? If so we are using the exact same chevron pattern in blue for LO's curtains!

MelissaRae1525 · September 2012

Pretty! Do you have patterns you're using? I want to do a yellow chevron stripe crib skirt. I'd like to do the curtains too but it depends on what I can find.

JessicaRobb · September 2012

Very nice! Time to get crafty

runlong3 · September 2012

Love it! We're using the same line except the yellow/wisteria ones.

I'm using this (https://www.houseofhepworths.com/2011/10/12/how-to-make-professional-lined-curtain-panels/) tutorial to make the curtains -- I don't think a pattern for those is really necessary unless you're trying to do something really fancy/elaborate.

I've also pinned tutorials for changing pad covers and sheets if you're interested in those. I actually have a pattern from a project forever ago for a crib skirt, but I'm sure you can find tutorials for that online as well (and save a few bucks while you're at it).

Thanks! Do you have the links for the changing pad and sheets? I'm making a one sided pleated crib skirt because only one side of our crib is open, and then tape it to the crib deck, and move it back as we move the mattress down.

Very pretty! Can't wait to see pictures of your finished nursery!

bennikki · September 2012

Oh for funny! I just ordered these yesterday in PUL for wet bags for my cloth diapers. I love them too!!!

I made my crib skirt last weekend, and I love coming into the nursery now and seeing things come together.

The changing pad and sheets are pretty much identical, just different sizes. There are also changing pad tutorials out there that show how to add in the contour portion on the ends, but I want to see how this one will work first (supposedly it works with contour pads).

Crib sheets: https://icandyhandmade.blogspot.com/2012/02/tutorial-crib-sheets.html

And I did a little digging and here's one for a crib skirt that gives you an idea how to do the pleats (so you can add however many you want). You'd only have to hem the edges of your one piece and then ignore the rest: https://frugalflourish.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-make-crib-skirt.html

ETA: After going back and looking at that changing pad tutorial I'm still not convinced it's going to work for a contour pad. So there's this tutorial instead: https://www.thecozypumpkin.com/2010/07/tutorial-easy-contoured-changing-pad.html

Cute! Where did you get them from?

Thank you so much! Looks like we have some crafty mamas here!

Yes - they are from Premier Prints (they must be doing a booming business right now!). I'm really happy with the quality, the price is so reasonable and the patterns/colors are even prettier in person.

For the curtains - I'm just winging it on the pattern. As I like to say, I'm really good at sewing together rectangles . Nothing fancy.

For the crib skirt, I was going to follow this: https://dkhibler.blogspot.com/2009/06/crib-skirt-tutorial.html. I'm going to use the chevron for the skirt, but I may do a front pleat and inset the suzani pattern, if I can figure that out. I don't think it would be that hard.

For those who said they wish they were crafty...I'm not really crafty either, but sewing these basic things doesn't require much talent, I swear. Notice that I'm not attempting a fitted sheet, that's a little beyond my scope! I may sew a cover for the changing table pad if I have leftover material.

Can't wait to see everyone's nurseries when they are finished! I'm hoping to have mine done by the end of October...I'll definitely share photos when done!

Love those! We're making the linens for the nursery too-most of them are done. We got fabrics from Moda. Thanks for the links to some patterns!
