Custom crib bedding for Caroline

My friends, the Fites, just welcomed a sweet baby girl into their family -- Caroline Reese. Heather asked me to help sew bedding for Caroline and I was more than happy to oblige. 

Heather picked classic colors with a girly twist -- I love the monogram above the crib! The crib skirt and outside of the bumpers are a champagne silk rosette fabric and the inside of the bumper is a cream minky fabric. 

For this one, I actually recovered an old crib bumper, which proved to be much easier and less expensive than the bumper inserts you can purchase at craft stores. As long as the fabrics you are using are thick enough, it really doesn't matter what the bumper looks like.

Heather found that fun light at the Pottery Barn Outlet.

We went with champagne ribbon for the ties (I suggest grosgrain ribbon). Her crib sheet is also from Pottery Barn.

I think someone local made the monogram for her, but they are readily available on Etsy, too. The unique mirror is Kirklands.

Here's Miss Caroline! Heather and Adam are seriously pro parents and are so comfortable taking care of her already! I feel very thankful they are walking this road to parenthood just ahead of Sean and I.
