Yesterday went to fabric store with a friend, Carissa, and she helped me pick out fabric that I love. They are two different looks, but same color scheme so they should look great together. The girl's is the flower fabric, the boys the circle fabric. And these are just the fabrics for the bumpers.
Then, rather than having them professionally done, my mother-in-law and I thought we would give it a go and try to make them ourselves. They look gorgeous. We were both so proud. They came out better than we had imagined. Still need to sew on the strings to tie to the cribs, but that shouldn't be hard at all.
We still have to make the bedskirts. We bought cream fabric and will make them flat skirts with a pleat in the middle front and a chocolate ribbon at the bottom for a border. Hoping those will turn out half as good as the bumpers, if not better...
And, the best part is I ended up saving over $125 by doing it ourselves.
