Crib Skirt

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Pillows A-La-Mode

Our brand-newest grandson is here for a visit! Today his mommy and I went to Jo-Ann to find fabric for a few items to round out his nursery decor, which is based on this adorable vegetable print from IKEA. We found a pretty green graphic print to use for the crib skirt, and it was a piece of cake to stitch it up! I got some helpful tips from Ashley at littlewillowtree and used her info to draw a diagram for future use. Oh, and we also got fabric for accent pillows . . . my next project!

P.S. Here’s a photo I added of the skirt on the crib when Joshua arrived back home . . . along with the pillows from the next post. ♥

  Isn’t it so cute??? Josh’s mommy brought one of the veggie receiving blankets for me to cut up to incorporate in the pillows, so I’m having fun with that! 🙂

I think my grandson could use a skirt like that for his crib, but I’m wondering how much longer he’ll be in it! Maybe for his younger brother or sister – whenever that will be! 🙂
