So, this was definitely a learning experience, and I will probably never do it again. LOL. I tend to want to do everything myself, but honestly, trying to sew around the thick filling in the bumper was a nightmare. Every time I'd pull it out to work on it, I'd mumble under my breath about how I should have bought the Nautica set on sale at Babies R Us. BUT, I didn't, so I made myself finish, and I am SO SO SO glad
Unlike those crazy moms who say to their unruly teenagers, "I carried you for 9 painstaking months," I'll be the crazy mom who says, "I sewed your, insanely difficult, baby bedding!!!"
And yes, there is a door missing from that frame. Kudos to you if you caught that. :) It is currently receiving a new coat of paint in the garage.
I completely cheated and stuck the crib skirt to the metal spring, frame thingy with industrial strength Velcro.
I used Burlap ribbon for the ties, hoping to invoke a rustic, rope like texture.
Our pretend baby LOL:
I think he likes it! :)
Only a few more projects to go to wrap up the Nursery Nook!
