It’s been a little nutty, store wise\u00a0this past week. I had a couple rush orders that threw my schedule off, but I pulled it out.\u00a0It’s a little stressful working against a deadline, but it’s so satisfying once the packages\u00a0are on the way to their new homes.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
A friend asked to have this for her son’s birthday. We’re crossing our fingers the post to Germany doesn’t take too long. I don’t usually do licensed character stuff, but this was special circumstances.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

These tutu sets are one of my biggest sellers. They take a bit more work than most of my items, but it’s always special to be a part of a deployment or homecoming for the families who order from me. I’ve never put one together as quickly as I had to do this one, but I\u00a0know what it’ll mean to the family.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u00a0A girlfriend of mine is due soon with her first girl. Having a gaggle of boys myself I understand her excitement and I was happy to help when she asked me to help with her bedding by making a crib skirt. I started with this tutorial here<\/a>, by request. I usually try to wing it, but I liked having the measurements already there. I cut a 5″ strip to make the pleat in a coordinating fabric. This means that I also had to split my side panels in two and add extra for seams, so I had 4 pieces that were 26″ long and 4 that were 17″. I had a 14.25″ length because that’s all the fabric we had to work with. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cut pieces<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
I then pieced them together. I also had to piece together one of my longer striped panels due to a fabric shortage, but it all worked out.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
One pieced panel<\/p>\n

Once pieced together I just finished the instructions as written. I got lucky and had an old crib\u00a0shirt that I cut up to use\u00a0for the center base piece. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

All done! I’m only slightly jealous I don’t have a reason to keep this for myself. :p It turned out super cute. The turkey’s toddler bed is lower to the ground and wider than a crib, but it works for picture purposes. Man I married is pretty handy and whipped that up one afternoon. It’s super sturdy. One of these days I plan to paint it. You can see where the turkey has already started for me with a little nail polish and pen. <\/span><\/div>\n

I enjoy sharing these little updates of what I’ve been working on, so I hope you like reading them.<\/span><\/p>\n
