I ordered an orange crib sheet on Amazon for the baby. PB had an orange sheet too but the corners were ripping. So I took his sheet and turned it into a crib skirt and got the baby a new sheet. It is really hard to get a good pic of the skirt on the crib but it was really easy to make. Maybe I should have taken a pic before we tied it on. I guess in the nesting frenzy, I forgot :) whoops! I got a few emails asking about the crib. I got it on Amazon :) just like everything!!
I just measured the side of the crib and the height above the drawer and cut a rectangle a little bigger out of the sheet and serged the edges. I cut 2 inch by 8 inch rectangles to make ties and sewed them to the top. The ties tie under the mattress to the metal frame. When the crib is lowered, I can just tie the ties a little higher on the frame. It was really quick and easy and it hides the stuff in the drawers :)
I am 38 weeks pregnant now. My rings still fit and I don't feel like I am done yet. I still feel good. I got sick this week and I am on an antibiotic so that has taken some wind out of my sails. No kitting a pile of baby hats this week. I did a little sewing earlier in the week and made the push last night to finish 5 projects. I'll share next week.
Hope you all have a great weekend!! I am super excited it's the weekend!!!

what a great idea to turn an existing sheet into a bed skirt! Looks great!
I was googling 'orange crib' and stumbled upon your blog - I admire your craftiness! I would love to know the model crib you have too - I love it!
Thanks Diane!
