{DIY Ruffle Crib Skirt}

Here come more baby DIY projects! 

I stayed up late the other night trying to finish my last couple of projects for Giulianas room. Reason being, i am in panic mode! I want to make sure everything is done before she arrives! I am due in 5 weeks, but our Dr is saying that she could realistically come at any point after this week. So.. I think i have good reason to be a little panicked :) 

This project, specifically, is one that i have been talking about doing for a very long time. Of course, it includes ruffles :) Those of you that have been following for a while, know that i cant resist!! {Tree skirt, onesies..}  Enjoy!

{DIY Ruffle Crib skirt} 

You will need:

Fabric of your choice 

{I used the $2 a yard natural linen from Joannes fabrics}

An old Crib skirt 

{Got mine for $1 at Good will, WASH BEFORE USING!}

Other things you will need:

A sewing machine

Thread

rotary board & cutter

Lots of pins 

Begin by cutting your fabric into strips. I cut mine 5" wide.

Lay your old crib skirt out & choose a side to start on. Have that side facing you. 

Using your pins, starting at the TOP portiong of the crib skirt edge, begin making your ruffles & pin them in place as you go along. 

Do this until you have a full row of ruffles. 

Next, lift up the ruffles you just made & begin pinning another row of ruffles just below your first row of ruffles. I had about 1 1/2" of space in between the rows.

Keep pinning rows until you have covered the entire section. I made 3 rows of ruffles. 

Begin sewing your ruffles on using your sewing machine. 

I used a very tight stitch.

Repeat the ruffle row making on all 4 sides of the old crib skirt. 

When you're done, it should look something like this! 

Put it on your crib under the mattress. It adds such a sweet & Girly flair! 

Giuliana's room is sure starting to look like a place i would want to spend a lot of time. I love that everything we have done in her room is like nothing else you can find anywhere! {Wall art, Mobile, Doily Lamp, Burlap letter, crib bumper..}  It makes it so special & Unique. 

A unique room for one unique little munchkin :)

Happy Monday!
