Crib bedding and nursery sewing tutorials roundup
Posted under Nursery . Sewing . Tutorials | 10 Comments
This post actually started as a tutorial of all of the bedding elements I sewed for little Peanut’s nursery, but just like the wheel there is no need for a reinvention in crib bedding tutorial world. After a quick Google search, I found pretty much every helpful information I was planning on sharing on my tutorials.
So instead of giving you tutorials for our nursery’s bedding, I decided to make a compilation with the best tutorials I found on the web (I wish I would have search for this before making all of my projects, it would have saved lots of time and measuring) At the bottom of each category I’m sharing little bits of what I did =] but all of my pictures will come in another post.
- Fitted crib sheet by Sew for Home
- Crib and toddler bed sheet by Dana from Made via Luvinthemommyhood
- Crib sheet by Jaime from Prudent Baby
- Crib sheet part 2 by Jacinda from Prudent Baby
- Minky crib sheet by Heidi from Honey bear lane
- Crib sheet using a serger by Jacinda from Prudent Baby
In my case I made 3 crib sheets and 2 bassinet sheets (for the basinet I did the same but with different measurements) The closest tutorial to the way I did it is number 2, but since I don’t have an overlock machine I did a French seam to finish the sides.
- Pleated crib skirt by Sew for Home
- Crib skirt by Dina from Honey and Fitz
- Crib skirt by Erin from Domestic Adventure
- No sew crib skirt by Sherry from Young House Love
- No sew crib skirt by Kelly from View along the way
- Ruffled crib skirt by amy from Positively Splendid
For the skirt I made I liked the “pleated” look but I wanted it very subtle. I did an opening on the front but kept it straight. To attach to the crib, I made a solid piece to go under the mattress and pin the fron and side, so that when it’s time to pull the bed lower moving the panels up will be very easy =]
- Crib bumper with jumbo piping by Sew for Home
- Crib bumper by Leanne from Elle Apparel
- Crib bumper by Tam from Sew dang cute crafts
Fou our bumpers I actually decided to go with a breathable mesh, I’ve heard very good things about them so I just cover the edges with pretty fabric and call it a day!
- Chevron Chenille Baby Blanket by Anneliese from Aesthetic nest
- Self binding receiving blanket by Abby from Sew much ado
- 3 different binding for blankets by Sew for Home
- Bound and personalized blanket by Sew for Home
- Beginners blanket by Jaime from Prudent Baby
- Simple baby blanket by Liz Stanley at Momtastic
- Ric rac receiving blanket by Abby from Sew much ado
- Snuggler by Lotta Jansdotter via Craft
- Knit Receiving Blanket by Ashley from Make it and love it
I’ve made a couple of blankets for Peanut, a very simple one with a super soft fabric and cute binding and a quilted one. I didn’t use the tutorials I’m sharing but number 2 covers the binding in a very simple way, so I would recommend you to use that if you are planning on making something binded.
- Storage Basket by Sew for home
- Collapsible Storage Baskets by Sew for Home
- Contoured changing pad cover by Elizabeth from E tells tales
And for fun, I’m also sharing some storage boxes and a changing pad tutorial, for our changing pad cover I did the same process she did on that tutorial, but for the back I did the same as the sheets and added an elastic, so it really fits like a glove YAY!
There you go a bunch of great tutorials so you can make the custom bedding you want! If you end up using the tutorials make sure to show the Crafters some love! We all know that making tutorials is not an easy task. I will show you all of the things I sewed on the next few weeks, just so you can all see what I’ve been talking about on this post =]
I hope you all have a wonderful day!

There are a lot of styles and makes in choosing the baby’s bed. And with that, it follows that the baby bedding must be a perfect fit with the chosen equipment. The three major selections are: a bassinet, a crib or a cradle. What differentiates one from the other? A bassinet is an oblong-shaped basket that serves as a bed for an infant. But sometimes, round bassinets are also available. A crib is a bed that is flanked with high side bars for a baby or young child’s safety. Cribs are usually more economical since the baby can use it from infancy to two years. While a cradle is a small low bed that an infant uses that has rockers on its stand. In all these, the material used to make the equipment should alert and signal to the mom how much safety precautions are needed. :

Having a baby is the most wonderful experience a woman can have as it is a fulfillment of the biological function of the female species. After the giving birth process, the real work begins. Feeding bottles, diaper changes, immunization records are just a few of the things the new mom have to learn quickly. And one important thing to consider in the arrival of the baby is the kind of baby bedding he or she will use. According to Dr. Mark Brandenburg, the number one rule to follow in choosing the right baby bedding for your precious infant is safety. The second rule says safety and the third rule emphasizes safety. We are to conclude that it is not enough to say it, it must be emphasized that baby bedding is critical for the comfort of the baby. ”

Wicker storage baskets are an ideal choice for the bathroom. They are lightweight, easy to maintain and blend with any bathroom decor easily. You can choose small wicker baskets to store your toiletries and cosmetics. Select a large wicker basket to store soiled clothes, bath towels and other bath linen. Opt for a strong basket, preferably with a lid and handles for support. Another excellent option is a bamboo basket. Small bamboo baskets are ideal to store day-to-day essentials like cosmetics, shaving cream, gels and lotions.,
