Michael Miller Fabrics' Citron-Gray Nursery: Pleated Crib Skirt. A crib skirt has two main functions: 1) it looks cute as can be, and 2) when it hangs all the way to the floor, it creates a secret, under-bed storage space. For our sleek and modern baby boy nursery, we choose a crisp pleated skirt rather than ruffles. This helps with arguments down the road, such as when my son claims deep emotional scars from wearing his older sister's ruffled overalls (it was one small ruffle on the pocket and he was two... come on!).
Unlike most fabric collections that are filled with coordinated prints in multiple colorways, color is what this story is all about. Michael Miller's Color Story concept combines hues that consistently work so well together, they create their own ambience, their own feeling... their own story. Like good friends who hang together over time, Michael Miller's Color Story pals will evolve from one release to another. Their stories will update and build momentum as color trends evolve, but their compatibility will remain. Contributors. Michael Miller Fabrics' Citron-Gray Nursery: Fitted Crib Sheet. You can never have too many baby bed linens. Changing the crib several times in one day is not unheard of... let's just say babies are kind of "leaky. " This super simple crib sheet takes just a couple yards of fabric, a length of elastic and about an hour of your time.
Why settle for boring old white sheets when it's so easy to add color and design? Today's project is just one of eight pieces in our new nursery series sponsored by our good friends at Michael Miller Fabrics, and is created using their new Color Story concept. Unlike most fabric collections that are filled with coordinated prints in multiple colorways, color is what this story is all about, like our selection: Citron-Gray. This project is sized for a standard 52" x 28" x 6" deep crib mattress and is based on an original tutorial by Joanna Armour for Michael Miller Fabrics. Like good friends who hang together over time, Michael Miller's eleven Color Story pals will evolve from one release to another. Fat Quarter Shop. Patchwork Crib Bumper: A Tutorial.

In the nursery, use them for creams, diapers, wash cloths and other diaper changing accessories.
You could fill a whole shelf set with bright and beautiful baskets. And yet, why let the nursery have all the fun? We bet you have a lot of cardboard just waiting to be recycled. Our sample was made for a baby girl's nursery, using the stunning Patty Young Andalucia collection.
