Finally!

Yesterday I, well actually Drew did most of the work, made the crib sheet for Eliana's crib out of the fabric I bought in March!  The precipitating factor was that every time I got Eliana up from her nap I noticed that her hair was really smelling badly so I figured it was time to wash the other sheet, making me also decide it was time to get down to business and make that sheet!


I won't bore you with the details.  We used this tutorial:  http://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/Blog/Fitted_Crib_Sheet_Tutorial.pdf.  I taught Drew to sew and he did most of the work because I was feeding Eliana.  He did a great job!  I think it looks so nice and just makes the room/crib look so much more special and personal.  It was also really easy and only took about 1.5 hours.  I'm really excited and it makes me want to make another one, but based on my track record, I don't think I'll buy any more fabric right now.  I do have leftovers of this fabric so maybe I'll make a pillow or something.  We'll see!


Here are some pics...










With the quilt the room looks so special now!

I am so impressed that Drew was doing the sewing. Dick used to have to help me interpret a guide sheet because I am not a visual learner and needed the oral and visual. You could take this up as a side business, Drew. so thrilled for you too that you will be having Bianca to come. I slept on some kopachas when I first went to CA--pretty comfy. Love to all of you and have a great time at the wedding. Dixie
