Good Morning!
I have been putting together a care package for a close friend of mine who is due with her baby boy in October.
She's got a gorgeous little girl who's nursery/room was Nautical themed. She'd like to keep what she has for this baby but needed a few items to compliment the room, especially more crib sheets.
I went out to the fabric store and found this awesome sea& boat print that I really liked, but the bolt was too short for the required 45" that it needed for the width of the mattress.
So I pulled out some elementary math skills and added contrasting panels to all four sides that would tuck underneath the mattress as the "pockets." The fabric I purchased had a bit of stretch so I utilized it & made sure the direction of the stretch matched how the panels would be pulled over the mattress.
With the remaining fabric I made a three pocket zipper pouch that she can use to carry baby items like extra cloth diapers and shells, diaper rash cream, etc.
I made it a 10x10 square and sewed a pocket to either side of the lining.
I even added one of my new little "Mae&Co." labels.
I love them!
If you are in need of a lovely handmade babyshower item look no further.
You don't have to worry about the gender & they are USEFUL (a big plus!).
