Baby Bedding

    When I first started looking into baby bedding for our little Norah, I found a lot of cute things. I also noticed the price tag on that really cute room decor. My favorites of course were in the $350.00 range. Ouch!  I don't know if $350.00 for baby bedding sounds like a lot of money to you (and no judgement if you spent that on your baby's bedding). But this is our first little one and I was a little bit surprised at such a large price tag for such little things. So, I decided that I (with the help of my Grandmother) could make Norah's bedding. 

Let's be honest here, my Grandmother did everything. If you can sew a straight stitch, you can make this skirt. My Grandmother has many more years experience at her sewing machine than I do mine and her straight stitch is much straighter than mine. I followed her around that entire afternoon, told her how I wanted the skirt made and told her measurements that I had gathered before heading to her house,  and watched, and obviously took pictures. 

 I looked at a lot of tutorials to see how I wanted to make Norah's bedding and decided on a straight bed skirt. I also wanted something that would adjust easily for when we move her bed to a lower position. This is the link for the tutorial that I used to make her bed skirt.

I decided to make Norah's sheets and cover for her changing pad as well. I used the same material from the bed skirt for the changing pad cover, and obviously a yellow fabric for the sheets. You can go here for the changing pad tutorial, and you can go here for the tutorial to make a fitted sheet. They are very close to being the exact same just with different measurements. 

We are pretty much baby ready! I'm not going to show you pictures of her entire room, at least not right now. We do have a few finishing touches to add. But we will see if I get around to showing you the rest :).

I love that I was able to make Norah's bedding with my Grandmother - Norah's great Grandmother. She is such a blessed girl to have not 1 but 6 of her great-grandparents. That seems such a rare gift these days. And we are so thankful for that gift!
