Sewing Baby Bedding!

Okay, I am extremely picky person... ....I have been unable to find a bedding set that I like that is "us". So, I'm going to make one. I'm going to have a lady make me these- Shamrocks and I am going to make a quilt out of them. (I'm going to send her a swatch of the fabric I need her to match the embroidery to.)

My question for anyone who sews. How much fabric do you think I will need to do the bumper and crib skirt? Can anyone tell me the measurements I would need for these or where I could find I pattern to use as a template?

TIA!!

I can send you the measurements from the sets I make... Im going to say if its 45" fabric, you will need a good 8 yards 60" fabric you will only need about 6 yards.

Will those measurements be for the bumper, quilt and skirt?

Bumper and quilt.....


for the skirt you will need a good 3 more yards.... depends on the length of the skirt too... most are about 9-12 inches, but I have seen people do them 14-16 inches?

You want the sheet measurements too?

hmmm, I'kl buy a buttload of material at Wally World. I can always use it for something later on I guess!

No, not hard at all.... you know how to sew elastic right? Its really simple, one piece pattern, the only thing you do is sew the corners, and add the elastic when you are sewing the hem on the sheet. Go look at the bedding on my website... you can see what the sheets look like there....

I'd love the measurements! Thanks. I'll attempt to make the sheet and if I screw it up, then I'll go buy one!
