Kid's room - completed

I've finished off the curtains - after a week or two of time to stretch, they could be hemmed.


Extra fabric was used to make the crib dust ruffle. The pattern is 5 rectangles - a 'base' that will be hidden under the mattress with a finished size of 52" x 26.5", two short sides finished size of 56" x 32" (double fullness pleated, double thick), two long sides finished size of 112" x 32" (double fullness pleated, double thick). By doubling up the ruffles, they hang nicely and can be reversed should the 'outside' get dirty.

I should add that the finished ruffle hangs about 15" down from the mattress platform.

Props to the sister-in-law, who made the crib sheet.

There's still tons left (maybe 14 yards?) so perhaps some floor cushions, laundry bag, slipcovers, liner for a swing/car seat/stroller, cover for a boppy pillow.... lots of ideas, not much motivation. :-)
