Modern Nursery Projects

September 14, 2020 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Baby on Trend is the debut fabric collection by Jemima Flendt of Tied with a Ribbon. Jemima has partnered with Two Green Zebras and Robert Kaufman Fabric for this collection which features modern baby prints in three colourways. I was given a bundle of the Woodland colourway to create contemporary nursery projects. Featuring simple geometric designs including trellis, stripes, and triangles, in shades of green/teal, mustard yellow, grey and brown. Sewing for the modern baby has never been easier.

First up, I made an Adventure Awaits Drawstring Bag. This stand up drawstring bag features raw edged appliqued snow capped mountains and rickrack trim. It is perfectly sized to hold nursery supplies or toys. The beginner friendly pdf sewing pattern is available in our Etsy store.

This Mini Fabric Basket is a handy addition to a modern nursery. It can hold small toys, items of clothing (such as socks), or other nursery supplies. Great way to keep the nursery organised. I used the woodland trellis and stripe for the exterior of the basket, and the triangle print for the lining. You can find the pdf pattern for the Mini Fabric Basket in our Esty store.

The baby teething ring is made from Woodland Trellis print in yellow. You can find a free tutorial to make a teething ring over at Willow and Stitch.

If you are after modern baby fabric for your next nursery projects, check out Baby on Trend. You can find the pdf patterns for the Mini Fabric Basket and the Adventure Awaits Drawstring Bag in our Etsy store.

Thanks to Tied with a Ribbon, Two Green Zebras, and Robert Kaufman Fabrics for providing the modern baby fabric used in these projects.
