 Miniature crib and comforter

Nursery cribFrom this picture and that of the changing table above, I went shopping for a miniature crib that would come as close as possible to the real thing. As would have it, there wasn't an exact duplicate in miniature. So I purchased one as close to the original as I could find. The covering on the mini mattress and the dust ruffle of course would have to be changed to fit the pattern of the crib set that Tracey and Chris selected for Kennedy's nursery.
Miniature crib as purchased

Miniature comforterI used a picture of the crib sheet and comforter from Tracey and Chris', wish list to create the mini crib sheet and comforter. The crib sheet was the hardest as the image I found was taken at an angle which had shadowing. For both the sheet and the comforter, I printed the image on iron-on Crib and comfortertransfer paper and then fused the image to a light weight cotton fabric. I used the pattern of the old crib sheet cover to cut out and glue the new one to the mini mattress. As to the comforter, I photographed the comforter and reproduced it the same way. I purchased a tiny gingham ruffle and blue light weight fleece material and using tiny stitches, sewed the fabrics and ruffle together

The Changing Table
Actual changing table
The second piece of furniture I wanted to place in the miniature room is the changing table. Again I went shopping for the closest miniature changing table I could find. The pad on the changing table does nothing to help our miniature nursery. So using some of the material that I made Miniature changing tablewhen I covered the crib mattress, I covered the changing pad to match. Now that I have the basic changing table changed to reflect the color scheme of the room, it's time to start on some of the little things that go with changing tables. The first items are receiving blankets. I found thin flannel like material which I cut and folded into tiny receiving blankets.
