Or I at least hope it isn't just us... But I love that tutorial since DS is going to be in his crib for a while yet. We're going to convert to toddler rails and keep him in that for at least another year or so until we turn it into a twin bed when he's three or four. So we'll need lots of crib sheets - especially since we'll eventually have DD in her own crib too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-746063 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:44:08 +0000 Boheme 746063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Definitely! Elastic gives me fits :) thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-746059 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:43:31 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 746059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: For crib sheets, my mom and I used this tutorial:</p> <p><a href="http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-crib-and-toddler-bed-sheets.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-crib-and-toddler-bed-sheets.html</a></p> <p>We found that it is just as efficient and easier to sew if we just put the elastic on either end instead of trying to pin and sew elastic around the entire perimeter. Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-746049 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:41:29 +0000 anbanan15 746049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: we made all of our nursery bedding etc...crib sheets, pack n play sheets, bed skirt, valences....I loved being able to use fabric we loved and not a premade set! We used both a woven and interlock for the sheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-745898 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:03:26 +0000 Boheme 745898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Nice! I love the crib sheet option! I will need a few more of those too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-745893 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:02:46 +0000 Boheme 745893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Thank you! that's great to know since I loooooove minky and was planning on using it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-745853 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:54:28 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 745853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooooo good question. I need more of both and to get back into the sewing groove. Thanks for asking this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-745845 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:53:03 +0000 immabeetoo 745845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Yes, both! I did this one for the boppy: <a href="http://www.aloadofcraft.com/2010/07/tutorial-how-to-make-boppy-slip-cover.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.aloadofcraft.com/2010/07/tutorial-how-to-make-boppy-slip-cover.html</a></p> <p>And just did a mini crib sheet version for the changing pad. <a href="http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-crib-and-toddler-bed-sheets.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-crib-and-toddler-bed-sheets.html</a> (and also made crib sheets)</p> <p>Easy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-745833 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:50:10 +0000 anbanan15 745833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Made a contor changing pad covers. Super simple and similar principle as sheets. </p> <p>We used ideas from both these tutorials: <a href="http://prudentbaby.com/2009/12/baby-kid/diy-changing-pad-cover-tutorial-2/" rel="nofollow">http://prudentbaby.com/2009/12/baby-kid/diy-changing-pad-cover-tutorial-2/</a> (check Prudent Baby for others. They might have a boppy cover and there are a ton of awesome tutorials here!) and I think this was the other one <a href="http://www.aloadofcraft.com/2010/03/tutorial-how-to-make-contoured-changing.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.aloadofcraft.com/2010/03/tutorial-how-to-make-contoured-changing.html?m=1</a>. Our changing pad is only contoured on one side so we had to combine the two tutorials :) Loved them! We used minky from Joanns and they are super soft, washed up great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sew#post-745765 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:28:41 +0000 Boheme 745765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you make a boppy cover or a changing pad cover? I'm looking for a good tutorial for both! </p>
