Today’s feature comes from Rachel at Maison de Pax. She may say her sewing skills are “basic, at best,” but it only took her an hour to turn leftover drop cloth scraps into a beautiful Restoration Hardware-inspired neutral crib skirt. I’m kind of jealous of any baby that gets to live in this nursery!
After hemming the sides and bottom of her canvas pieces, Rachel created box pleats using a needle and thread. She didn’t have enough cloth to go underneath the crib mattress as well, so she used a different piece of fabric from her stash to place underneath the mattress. Then she used safety pins (tricky!) to attach her pleated lengths of drop cloth to the “hidden fabric.” Since her crib was going to be against the wall, Rachel didn’t worry about creating a skirt piece for the back. Good call-why worry about the parts no one can see? They’ll be too busy drooling to even notice!
