I promised I would be back with the info on the bedding I used for Autumn's crib. With each boy we've used different bedding sets. Finally, I have found the perfect one.
In the past we've bought bedding sets from Target, Walmart, and Ebay. I've never really been satisfied with the crib bumpers. They are flimsy and as soon as baby can stand up they get stepped on and bent all funky.
So I went to etsy and I found a company that makes beautiful bedding. Now, I will say they are a bit pricey for everything. That's why I only purchased the crib bumper. You can sign up for their emails or follow the company on Facebook. They do regular 15% or 20% off sales.
The bumper is so soft and it comes with very thick padding. It will not be easily bent when Autumn is able to stand up.
I purchased the sheet from Target. It's the Circo Knit Dot Fitted Crib Sheet in pink. I paid $9.99 for it.
Carousel Designs also sells the fabric for the bedding by the yard. I purchased 1 yard of the same fabric that the bumper is made of to make the blanket. The pink lace I purchased from Hobby Lobby while on sale. The two pinks aren't exact matches but I don't care. My mom has a friend that sewed everything together for me. On the website Carousel Designs sells a crib blanket for $59. For the fabric and lace I paid around $30.
Finally, the crib skirt. I made this myself. I totally spaced it and forgot that I could have purchased the same silver/gray fabric that's on the bumper ties from Carousel Designs. The fabric I purchased is from Hancock Fabric. I followed the tutorial provided by View Along The Way. It only took me 4 days to figure this skirt out and sew it. But I'm not a seamstress so no shocker there it took so long.
Total for everything I would guess I paid about $160-$170. That's a pretty good savings by looking elsewhere for the individual pieces.
This is beautiful for my beautiful little princess.
