I watched her sew from evening gowns to bedding to custom Barbie doll clothes. Yes, my Barbies had a big closet! They even had beach towels that matched their bathing suits!
I truly believe that I got the "need" to save all those leftover pieces of scrap paper from her. She would save every tiny piece of fabric around because she knew that one day, it would serve a purpose again...Like for making my barbies bathing suits. :)
Long story short, shortly after my father passed away last year, I thought that all this talent and knowledge my mom has for sewing, needed to be passed on to me somehow. After all, I am the crafty one in the family. I could - literally - spend hours trying to figure out how to craft something until I get it right. And today I know more about sewing than I did 6 months ago.
So, we sat down and decided to take One Cute Nursery {OCN} to the next level and jumped into the adventure of designing and sewing custom crib bedding.
Here is what I call OCN's "first baby". ****Update: this item sold on 02-07-13****

We {mom and I} are looking forward to see what happens next! So, I wanted to share with all of you these beautiful pictures of this custom made crib bedding set. I have personally picked the fabric and put together a contrasting design.

The minky fabric is a must in a nursery. Is soft and cozy, so we used it on the crib bumper and on the reverse side of the owl blanket. We found the perfect fabric to make a matching fitted sheet for the mattress and you can see how seamless it all looks. Peaceful! I LOVE IT!
The accent pillow is also included in the set!

Love the ruffled skirt, but we are also looking forward to make a solid flat skirt in the future for a more modern look. I will come back to this post with an update whenever we make a new set!

Oh wow...this is just amazing...absolutely amazing! I am sure you have made your dad very, very proud (and your mom too, of course!) What an inspirational story!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was apparently an amazing seamstress in her day, but my mom unfortunately picked up none of the ambition or talent for it, and since my grandmother has passed on, I am now struggling by myself with my clunky old sewing machine to learn to make the simplest things (I can, however, now boast that I've sewn two pairs of pajama pants for my husband, and they both fit! YAY!) But I hope to move on to more important endeavors, and to one day be able to pass my knowledge down to my own daughter and have a legacy to leave her.
You should be very proud of this absolutely GORGEOUS custom crib set you have created! I am sure there moms will be lining up to buy them! I wish you the best of luck!
Blessings, Jenn
Hi Jenn!
DeleteThank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I truly believe on passing on traditions and knowledge. It's one of those things that live forever and they only bring happy memories!
Go ahead and do your best with that "clunky old sewing machine" of yours...the littlest thing you do, your daughter will be watching and she will always remember the "old good times" like I do! :)
Blessings to you too!
