I've signed up as a VIP at Spotlight, its a pretty handy store aye :) I went in the other day to check out their fabric sale stuff and got inspired to make a small 80x80 blanket with cotton fabric on one side and minky on the other, it was a lot of fun once I got it all cut and pinned.

Thanks for the other ideas on where to look, I hadn't even thought about the library!]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:30:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5826182&title=nursery-linen#5826182 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5826181&title=nursery-linen#5826181 Author: Manz12

I went to the library and got our some craft books. I am making a quilt from a book called "3-Fabric Quilts" it is for beginners and it is actually really simple and they are modern quilts.

Also if you sign up to be a VIP at your local Spotlight store they have projects that they give free patterns for.

There is a really cool fabric website www.bytheyard.co.nz also www.etsy.com is a US website but they have patterns, fabric and supplies and most sellers ship to NZ. Also I always look at www.potterybarnkids.com for inspiration.]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:55:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5826181&title=nursery-linen#5826181 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5825881&title=nursery-linen#5825881 Author: Pure104913

The size of bassinet mattresses seems to vary quite a lot. ]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:20:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5825881&title=nursery-linen#5825881 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5823721&title=nursery-linen#5823721 Author: LF

Thanks for the advice. I hadn't even thought about measuring the mattress and sorting things that way. I think I might need to get my creative hat on

I have had a look on pintrest, and there are some neat ideas, I just haven't found patterns that way, and I'm a beginner so need a bit of guidance :)

Cool quilt dottydot, love the colours    ]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2013 14:16:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5823721&title=nursery-linen#5823721 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5823507&title=nursery-linen#5823507 Author: Stoked

I don't think you'll be able to find patterns. The size of bassinet mattresses seems to vary quite a lot. I made my ones by measuring the top of the mattress, adding on the depth and deciding how much I wanted it to tuck around. (Fitted bottoms). For the tops I used the top of the mattress size again and decided how much extra I wanted it to wrap around the sides.

Hopefully that is of some help.

Your quilt looks awesome dottydot - well done, love the fabric.]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:26:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5823507&title=nursery-linen#5823507 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5823499&title=nursery-linen#5823499 Author: dottydot

Hi Everyone. Im new to OhBaby and after some advice/ideas. I've got a bit of time on my hands at the moment, number one is due in May. I am keen to sew my own nursery linen, sheets, quilt, all that sort of thing. I've had a look on line for patterns but haven't been able to find what I am looking for yet.

Does any one have any ideas/links that might be able to help me out? ]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:20:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42948&PID=5823473&title=nursery-linen#5823473
