| NU-Foam Bumper Pad Batting |
Here's what they turned out to look like. I chose a muted chevron pattern for the "outside" and a solid matching pink for the "inside" - that way they could always be reversible!
The tricky part was making sure that for the "long" sides of the crib (which is two bumpers) I had the chrevon stripes aligning, so the two pieces would be consistent visually. I have yet to bring these to Portland, get the crib there, and put it all together... keep your fingers crossed!
The other hard part was sewing the batting into the bumper. I quizzed the ladies at the fabric store and those who had made them before, had sewed in the batting (vs. leave an open pleat or zipper to remove the batting in the future) and said that it was machine washable and had no issues with putting it through the wash. In order to sew these in... the entire bottom turned into a hidden (or ladder) stitch... time consuming, but good practice.

impressive! So cute! I can't wait to see the room all put together
Me too! A little nerve racking to do this blind!
When your baby changes his/her bed from crib to a toddler bed/child bed, he goes through a transition. In a crib, he/she gets protected from rolling out by the crib bars. For a child bed, this is not possible as there is no bar. But, he might be unable to remove the habit of rolling out at a sudden. Therefore, it can be risky for him as there are chances of falling out of the bed. So, he requires extra security for certain time. To ensure his or her security, you can purchase a set of foam bumpers or bed rails. If you ask for a quality bed bumpers for baby and adults, then we suggest you go for the Hiccapop Toddler Bed Bumper Foam and Bed Rails.
