The girls room in coming together. I finished up the
crib sheet and crib skirt this last week. If I couldn't find a grey crib sheet, I knew for sure I wouldn't be finding a grey crib skirt. So, I made one with fabric that is in the
baby's quilt. This skirt is made to just touch the floor when the mattress is on the lowest setting.
I opted for a straight skirt that has just one pleat in the center of each panel. I'm not one for ruffles and fluff, so the simple lines of this skirt appealed to me.
I am including a pattern and instructions for making a crib skirt. Please feel free to print off a copy or share it with others. The numbers on the images below correspond with the instructions above.

Hope these are clear and easy to follow. Please leave a comment and picture if you make your own crib skirt or sheet. I'd love to see how it goes for you.
Thanks so much for posting this! I love that I was able to customize my fabric to the quilt that I made and I did not have to settle for something generic!
ReplyDeleteAmen to custom, one of a kind, not out of a catalogue or from Target.
DeleteMy sister asked me to make bedding for her baby-to-be and this is the perfect pattern. Thanks so much for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! I have a crib sheet pattern as well, the link is in this post.
DeleteThis looks gorgeous and the instructions seem easy enough to follow for a beginner sewer like me. I don't want a full crib set and just wanted a bed skirt to add some color to the bed. This is the perfect project for my baby's room. thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope it works out well for you. I'm with you on not having a whole matchy-matchy bed set. It's a lot more fun to put together a couple fabrics that you just LOVE.
DeleteLove the simplicity. Can't wait to pass this project on to my sister. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Nice that you have a sis to sew for you. I need one of those :)
DeleteDo you think it would be too difficult to put different fabric in the inside of the pleat? I really like your pattern. Best one I've seen yet and I'm excited to try it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat would be really cute! I think it would be simple enough, just piece in a strip of the fabric right in the middle of each side of the skirt. I would make it the exact size of the pleat and it should look fantastic. Be sure to post a picture on my facebook page of your completed project. I'd love to see it!
