Made a contor changing pad covers. Super simple and similar principle as sheets.

We used ideas from both these tutorials: http://prudentbaby.com/2009/12/baby-kid/diy-changing-pad-cover-tutorial-2/ (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 http://www.aloadofcraft.com/2010/03/tutorial-how-to-make-contoured-changing.html?m=1. 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!

Ooooo good question. I need more of both and to get back into the sewing groove. Thanks for asking this!

@grizz: For crib sheets, my mom and I used this tutorial:

http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-crib-and-toddler-bed-sheets.html

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!

@grizz: I think elastic gives everyone fits in equal measure. 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!
