More sewing....

This spring I got to take a trip to southern Utah to visit my sister.

She had just had a baby.

Her first boy after 4 girls.

She wanted me to help her sew a nursery set for her new "little man".

Her idea of "help" was she wanted me to do the sewing.

She picked out the fabric and the construction was up to me.

After much deliberation in the fabric store and putting back 2 other "groups" of fabrics,

this is the fabric combination she came up with....

I did consult my grandmother on how to make the piping.

My great aunt and grandma helped turn all the ties for the bumper pads.

My mom cut the fabric for the bedskirt so that all the stripes matched up.

She even had to make a last minute trip to the fabric store about a half hour before they closed

because she ran out of fabric in the attempt to match those stripes.

She bought all they had left.

The sheet above is a mint green. We made a tan sheet to match as well.

I hope she likes how it turned out.

I was a little nervous in the faith she had in me to pull it off.

But I'd do it again.
