Bumper instructions

Because I don't want to lose these for future reference and I want to delete the clutter from my phone notes: These are my rough instructions for recovering C's crib bumpers for baby E.

Bumpers


Side bumpers


11 x 27 (actual size: 10x26)


1/2 inch seam allowance on all sides

12 ties total - 6 each bumper

Cut 2 pink polka dot 11x27


Cut 2 floral 11x27


Sew right sides together of each print with a 1/2 inch seam allowance.


Leave one side mostly open, sewing only 1-2 inches at top and bottom. This will allow you to stuff the bumper.



Long bumpers


11x52


10×51 actual size


1/2 inch seam allowance on all sides


16 ties total - 8 each bumper

Cut 2 pink polka dot 11x52


Cut 2 floral 11x52


Sew right sides together of each print with a 1/2 inch seam allowance.


Leave one side mostly open, sewing only 1-2 inches at top and bottom. This will allow you to stuff the bumper.
