Weekend Four ( August 20th- August 22nd)

After the weekend I had before, I started this project with some hesitation! I got started late in the afternoon on Friday and was concerned that I didn't have it in me to have another disaster!

This project was the Bumper for the crib! I felt like this should be pretty easy everything was square or rectangular with no rounded corners...so I got started! It was tedious work from the 5 yards of fabric cut into 6 inch strips to make the ruffles to all the different fabric choices that made up the bumper. The fabric included the same gingham fabric from the bassinet for the ruffles, brown and cream toile, shrimp toast "inspiree" fabric, and some brown minky dot. I found a bumper on Poshtots.com that I just loved and decided to use it as my pattern for my bumper..I tried to post a link but it did not work so go to Poshtots.com and look at baby girl bedding and the name is Ainsley!

Here is a link that you can copy and paste hopefully since I cannot get the link to work on this blog thing...haha

I did not have any measurements for their bumper so I made up one...and I think it works fine. I sewed all night on Friday, all morning on Saturday and finished up on Saturday night. In between morning and night on Saturday, Keith and I had a good afternoon just playing around in town. We did purchase baby girl's dresser and an awesome glider for her room while out and about!

The bumper worked out just fine..the only hiccup is that I put the ribbons on wrong and I am going to fix that this weekend along with starting the next project!

Here is the almost finished bumper....what do you think?
