Original Nursery Bedding

The last couple of weeks I have worked on new nursery bedding for our future grandson.  Since our kids started announcing grandkids were in our future, I have had a new revival for sewing.  I want to share pictures of the nursery bedding I have sewn.  Each of these nursery coordinates were made using the same Simplicity pattern but look at how different each one turned out.

Shiloh’s “Flower” Nursery

The black, raspberry pink, white with green nursery bedding was made for my 1st granddaughter, Shiloh.  We knew we were having a girl, so nothing but something girlie (not frilly) for this nursery. Shiloh’s nursery pieces included a quilt, sheet, pillow, bed skirt, bumper pads, organizer and a cafe style curtains. Flower accents were machine embroidered on the quilt and pillow. Flowers were also added to the bumper pads and organizer.

Mae’s “Branching Out” Nursery

The brown, yellow and green nursery bedding was made for my 2nd granddaughter, Mae.  Not knowing the gender of this child before she arrived, we went with gender neutral fabric/theme. Don’t you just love the trees?  I used the little birds on the fabric to design the bird appliques.

Take special note of the mobile.  Shower attendee’s each made an animal from felt and embroidery floss. They had to come up with their own creation!  Then I suspended all the animals from an embroidery hoop, spacing each evenly apart to keep the mobile balanced.  We heard a few moans at the shower, but in the end I think everyone was happy to say they contributed to something Mae would look at each day.

To save room in this small nursery curtains were used as the closet doors. I layered the curtain fabrics on top of each other; brown,yellow and green fabric on the bottom. The brown tree fabric at the top leads your eye up in the room. Another decorating tip we used was to stretch different printed fabrics into assorted sizes of embroidery hoops.  Then, hang them on the wall!  Instantly gives the room a lot of color! One last fun accent to point out – the small animal pictures hanging on the wall, next to the curtain. They are felt puppets my daughter made for Mae. Her mom framed them and hung them on the narrow wall. Wish I could say that was my idea!

Future Custom Nursery Bedding…

I am working on my future grandson’s nursery bedding. I will post pictures after I give the bedding to my daughter.  I have used the same pattern, but WOW how different it looks.

I hope you have enjoyed my grandkids’ nursery bedding. I have had a blast creating them. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested in custom nursery bedding! You can reach me at (816) 246-5118.
