Does anyone know where I can look at fabric for baby bedding? I've tried one site already--javisdavis-- but they didn't have anything I liked. Any thoughts? I heard Amy Butler makes good/cute fabrics, maybe something along those lines?
Awesome! I can't wait to check it out. Here is what I'm trying to work with:
The room has honey hardwood floors and floor to ceiling cabinets on two walls (it's our place in Cairo). My crib is black, and looks similar to this:
but black instead of brown. I have a bright yellow chenille rug that will fit the entier room just about (it's small). So, the main consideration is the black crib and the yellow rug. I think I'm going to paint the handles to the cabinets black to match the crib, so at least the hardware will match. I plan to also get a rocking chair and paint it black and maybe add a black wrought iron lamp (that we already have). That way I can avoid using black in the bedding hopefully. So for the bedding, I'm looking for something with bright yellow and one other color that would look good with the black crib and accessories, etc. My inclination is to go with greens and blues, i.e. yellow, grass green only or yellow, grass greena nd aqua blue or yellow and aqua or bright light blue. I think the colors should be bright b/c the yellow is bright. here is what I've found so far:
this might work but there is no yellow in it. My firend who sews is helping and she might be able to add a yellow riboon/edging to it to make it match?
This might work but it's $539 and you have to buy the whole set.
These colors would work perfectly but again it's $540.
What do you think? I know you sew and are really good with this stuff, so I'd love to know your thoughts and if you have any better suggestions (and anyone else please feel freee to comment). Thanks!
I really LOVE that one you found! Ok what if you buy individual items? You could easily get a solid crib skirt, and bumper pads for a very reasonable price. Then you could get a crib quilt made. I think that baby bedding would be fairly simple to make. Here's some really cute fabrics:
These are $99 for the 5 piece set, you could easily make new ties to match your quilt.

Thanks so much for your help. I think that is what I'm going to do. My friend who sews wants me to just find random fabric so that she can make it. She knows of a place that sells tons of fabric and if I describe the fabric I want they may have it for me for a lot less. The site is maryjos.com if you're interested, based out of S Carolina. I've checked your site too and will go with whatever I can find/like best (I also like the ones you posted).
Okay, just out of curiosity, which one of my 3 picks do you love? I think I am going to try to find the first one, by Dwell Baby.
