Crib Skirt and Bumper Pad

I've had these both done for a long time, I just needed to take pictures. The baby room doesn't have the best lighting, so excuse the photos. The in-progress photos are from my phone, so the same warning applies!

For the crib skirt, I sort of used the tutorial here, but I made some changes. I only have 2 ruffles, and I just sort of pinned and made my ruffles as I sewed. I'm happy with how it turned out!

For the bumper pad, I couldn't find anything in the stores that matched, and I wasn't about to start sewing all those ties and make one myself. On pinterest, I saw an idea to take a plain white bumper from Ikea and add fabric to it. Brilliant. I still had scraps from my quilt, so I made some more trapezoids and just sewed them right onto the bumper. Quick, easy, and colorful!

Sewing for Baby Girl

I have been in a sewing frenzy to get things ready for baby girl's nursery. I have gotten so much done, but I haven't completely finished a thing! I have a quilt top done, a valance done but not hung, a changing pad cover 1/2 done, a crib skirt cut and ready to sew, and a bumper pad bought and ready to be altered. I'm also planning a pillow with my fabric scraps, and some decorations to hang in the room. It's all coming together SO well, and I can't wait to get it put together. It's been so much fun to gather ideas, find fabric, and really make this nursery come to life!
