2. "L", "U", "K", "E" fabric letters in frames:
The inspiration for these letters was that I had 4 empty white frames and I didn't know what to put in them, haha. I wanted them to match his room, so I ended up turning to my favorite thing-- the fabric scraps.
-First cut the background pieces to be the right size to fit the frames you have on hand.
-Then draw and cut out the fabric letters (I just eyeballed mine).
-Top stitch around each letter. I did mine in individual "strips" So the K was really three rectangles laid at the right angles, and I top stitched them each individually. This also made it really easy to cut out the letters without tracing!
-If wrinkly, iron your finished fabric picture.
-Stick finished products in frames and hang. So easy!
We also painted his room a light blue, but we have
since moved and haven't been able to paint his new room *sighs. Maybe one day?
Stay tuned next week for the final Luke's nursery post!

3. Curtain:
One of my parents neighbors gave this curtain to my mom
in case I wanted it. Yes, please and thank you!
I thought it was cute
and it matched okay, but it needed something to really tie it in to the
room. I (yet again) dug out my fabric scraps. I thought about doing
maybe a car or some other decal but eventually decided to keep it simple
and do a stripe across the bottom of the curtain.
I didn't have a scrap
even close to long enough to go across the whole thing so I decided on
the width I wanted and then sewed a whole bunch of little pieces
together. After I had my long strip assembled I folded in the edges and
ironed them for a nice clean look, then I top stitched around the whole
stripe.

Those turned out so so so cute!! Love the bright colors and the letter frames are such a great touch!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I feel like they really helped tie in his bedding (which you can't see in the pictures very well...sigh) where before the room didn't really feel complete. I'm so glad you stopped by, your comments make my day :)
