What do you do with a crib skirt once you drop your crib? Turn it into a valance! That’s what I did for my friend when her Lil’ Bug needed her crib dropped. She had this gorgeous bedding done for her daughter’s room and it would have been a waste to see it not being used. So she called on me for some sewing help!
Here is the crib skirt before!
What was really great about the whole process was that some of the fabric that she had in her crib bumper I had in my wonderful stash of fabric at home. Take a look at her bedding, see the pretty paisley print?
Well I took my stash of that paisley print from Premier Prints and added it to the crib skirt. Look how great it turned out!
I even sewed a pillow to match!
If you can’t find matching window treatments then you can also use crib skirts from coordinating sets. I did that for these 2 rooms. I didn’t need crib skirts for my 2 cribs and I couldn’t find any valances that I loved or that matched my bedding. So I used the coordinating skirts that matched my bedding sets.
This one is from Princess M’s Room.
This one is from my Room Redo at Grandma and Baba’s house.
One day I will do a tutorial on these!
A special thanks to my friend, AC, for the great inspirational project for her Lil’ Bug’s room!
