Learn how to make crib bumpers with beautiful designer fabric following our awesome tutorial. Information technology's so easy, you won't believe it!
Hi I'm Amy from Nap Time Crafters, and I'm so excited to be sharing my tutorial on how to make crib bumpers!
After my son ended upward like this multiple nights in a row I decided it was definitely time for some crib bumpers!
***Note: some have advised against the use of crib bumpers. This decision is up to you and your doctor. Since my boy tin can easily ringlet in either direction I feel the crib bumpers exercise not pose a suffocation run a risk and are saving him from a lot of caught limbs***
Much better! And a happy baby ways a happy mom 🙂
I made my bumpers from half dozen split panels that tie in place on the outside of the crib. The piping effectually the edges was the perfect finishing bear on! And they're completely reversible which I love! If chevron becomes a chip too stimulated for my fiddling guy, I tin can just flip them around and have yellow on the inside instead.
I tin't even begin to tell yous how much I LOVE this cloth I got from The Ribbon Retreat!!
I have a portable crib, but I've also included material requirements and measurements for a standard size crib in parentheses.
1 1/4 Yards (two Yards) Chevron in Bermuda
1 1/iv Yards (two Yards) Bella Solids in Yellow
3/4 Yards (1 1/two Yards) Bella Solids in Turquoise (for ties and pipage)
Y'all will also need bumper pads/batting. I recovered an sometime set up.
Mine were viii″ tall and so add a niggling extra fabric if your pieces are taller.
Cut the following Pieces:
For a Portable Crib:
- 2 panels in each fabric measuring 25 ten ix″ (call back to add to the pinnacle if your pads are taller)
- 4 panels in each fabric measuring 20 x nine″
For a standard Crib:
- 6 panels in each material measuring 27 x 9″ (remember to adjust for your pad thickness and elevation and and then add seam allowances)
For both sizes:
- 24 ties measuring 3 x 10″ (increase the length to sixteen″ if yous want bows instead of knots)
- i.v″ strips cut on the bias for bias. I ended up using almost 7 yards full
~ How to Make Crib Bumpers ~
1. Fold each tie piece in half with the long edges together. Sew up the long border and the created a tapered point beyond one short border. Trim the excess textile.
2. Plough right side out and press flat. Repeat 23 times 🙂
3. Wrap your bias strips around a slice of cording and baste in place using your zipper foot. Sew together as close to the piping as possible.
4. Baste a length of piping to the peak and lesser edge of each inside (or outside) panel. The cord is on the inside of the edge. Besides baste your straps in place. You need two straps on each end.
5. Add together a console on top in your 2nd cloth and run up correct sides together along the piping edge using your attachment foot. Go out a 4-6″ gap for turning on one of the short edges.
6. Turn right side out and slide your bumper pad/batting within and then manus stitch the opening shut.
Necktie around your crib slats and yous're finished!
Hope you enjoy sewing upward a set of your ain!
