Make a set of burp cloths, a simple receiving blanket, embellish a onesie. It took me a while to realize, you don’t have to settle for what you see in the store.
You can make almost anything. And this was one of those “duh“ moments when I discovered (after both kids had graduated from a crib) that you can make your own crib sheets! At least Owen’s still in a Toddler bed so he can reap the rewards. The concept is simple. To make this tutorial, I just cut up an old crib sheet and went from there. Here are the details, so that you can make your own……. Crib sheets don’t need to be plain and white. And if they’re for a boy, you don’t have to settle for teddy bears and baby rattle prints. Think outside of the box! Make your baby crib or toddler bed more exciting by creating your own sheets! This is a great project for any level of sewer, especially a beginner. Okay, let’s get started! * 2 yards of fabric * 80 inches (204 cm) of skinny 1/4 inch elastic * Cut out a rectangle that’s: 45 x 67 inches (114.5 x 171 cm) * Fold that into fourths (fold it in half and in half) and cut an 8 x 8 in (20.5 x 20.5 cm) square out of the corners, so that your fabric looks like this:
Another way to do this (if you’re making multiple sheets), is to cut out a pattern piece that’s 1/4 the size of your sheet. It looks like this (or the state of Utah): Then before cutting anything out, you can fold your fabric into fourths, lay that on top, and easily cut it out. Okay, with your fabric cut, let’s start sewing. * Take the two sides of one corner and bring right sides together. Pin them and sew down the side. This is creating a “pocket” of sorts, to go around the corners of the mattress. Do this to all four corners of the sheet: * Serge the seams, zigzag or leave the seams raw. * Serge around the entire outside of the sheet. This makes is easy to create a casing for the elastic. If you don’t have a serger, just iron your fabric over 1/4 inch all the way around and then continue to the next step…. * Iron under the entire edge of the sheet. You are creating a casing, to string very skinny elastic through. * Sew down the casing.
You don’t need to pin around the entire sheet before you sew (that takes too long) but DO pin a start and stop point so that you leave an opening to get the elastic In and Out. Start sewing from the START point, all the way around the STOP point: * Insert the elastic. Taking your 1/4 inch wide elastic, attach a safety pin to one end, and pin the other end to the sheet. Start stringing it through the casing, all the way around till it comes out the other side: * Overlap the ends and sew them together a few times with a zigzag stitch: * Then sew your casing closed. And then make them in all sorts of colors: Because even boys like options, right? Sleep tight, little babe.

How to move your toddler from a cot to a bed – out of all the big transitions my daughter has made in her three years, this was the one that filled me with the most anxiety. Cue: night time wakings, visits, tumbling out of bed screamings…you name it, my head was filled with visions of all of it. Three months in however, truth be told, the transition was nowhere near as bad as I expected (hey, expect the worst…hope for the best!), so I thought I’d share with you some tips on how to move your toddler from a cot to a bed The fact of the matter is – there’s no right age to move your toddler to their bed but most will recommend somewhere between 14 months and 3 years. In fact, we really pushed things back to as close to 3 years to ensure that our little was developmentally ready to be in a bed, and this worked really well for us, but as usual – every child is different. Before we actually transferred our daughter from a cot to a bed, we talked about it….A LOT!
We prepared her for a good few weeks before hand by bringing it up in conversation, so that she could get a handle on the concept and feel proud of this new level of responsibility…being in a big girl’s bed! Whether you are buying your toddler bed online (and we just love the selection of toddler beds from Room to Grow) or buying on the high street, I would highly recommend taking your little one bed shopping with you. They love trying out different beds and it helps to get them used to the idea of the upcoming move. It also helps them suss out what they like and what they don’t like – and believe me, these little ones have a much better idea than we give them credit for. In the end, they are the ones that are going to be sleeping in it, so they have to a) like it and b) comfortable in it. I remember thinking how much I wanted a gorgeous little bed for my girl and in the end she wanted the most utterly basic design – but she was so very happy in it, so at the end of the day….that is really all that matters.
While I am an advocate of letting a child choose their own bed, there are just two important requirements I do think we should insist on…and that’s a low bed and one that has a guard. I think the security that a low bed with a guard provides really is underestimated and it really does help them feel secure at the beginning of the transition, and also helps to emulate that slightly contained feel you get with a cot. Do note that all guards are not equal so do try to find out that is more on the lengthy side – some of them can be very short indeed! Resist the urge to buy a bed they have to climb up steps to get into (even though they look so cool!). Even three little steps is enough to add unnecessary complications at this stage. I’m a big believer in the importance of a good bedtime routine (cue bedtime drama avoidance!), and I do think the stabilizing force of a bedtime routine really helps with the transition into a bed from a cot, so if you haven’t got one, I would highly recommend getting this locked down beforehand.
