Baby Bed Bumper

Isn't it fun to make something for babies on your own... It is!

Been browsing around the popular websites to buy a baby bed bumper.All the cute one narrows down to Quirky prints or Applique work on it. What started as a DIY project for cost cutting, really surprised me with a quick completion time and lesser raw materials yet with a personal touch.

Now all I required was the baby crib size and the ready made bumper sizes.I stuck to the ready made measurements which is currently in the market after ensuring that it goes well with the cot that needs the bumper.

This time let me try to give a approximate expense and materials required to make a 10*160 inches bed bumper.

Foam or Wadding- 80 inches
White cloth-1.25 meters
Checked material-1 meter
Lining material-2 meters
Designs
Tracing materials
Acrylic colours
Paint brushes -Flat and Round
Colour mixing palette
Acrylic paints
Threads for Sewing

Total expenses: 1500 rupees approximately

What saves good amount of time?

  • Choose the colored fabric with two way prints or as checks.
  • Let a single colour thread be used throughout the project.
  • Just get the designs as coloured pictures from a book or online.
  • Average the size of the designs by altering the size or by adding few elements.
  • Pre-shrink all the fabrics and cut the pieces to be painted, in advance
Fabric Measurements

10*10 inch pieces with 1/2inch seam allowance just at the sides for the seam.
8pieces for painting and 8 pieces in the coloured fabric at the front.
10*160 inches for the back 
10*160 inches cut 2 -Lining fabric
3*350 inches  binding fabric.Cut and Sewn. 
Make cords of desired length for 14 tie points.




Happy!
