Here is the finished product of my bassinet project! Thanks Sherry for letting me have your bassinet. I totally love it. Eric tightened all the screws so it is sturdy and good to go now. Thanks Melinda for helping me get the fabric. I had so much fun with this. For this project, I picked apart all the old fabric and used that as my pattern to sew a new cover. I reused all the piping and boning which was a nice and convenient option. I also made velcro closures on both ends so I can take the whole thing off and wash it in the future.This is the new dust ruffle that ties on to the storage below the bassinet.
This is the fabric I used to cover the little mattress. I made two of them so I can put a new one on while I wash the other one.
Here is the pleated skirt around the bassinet. I know its not a big part of the picture, but all the solid cream you see on the bassinet is this new fabric that I love.. Forget Minky dot fabric, it's all about the Minky Paisley!!! It's so soft and cozy. This fabric is the reason why my project took a month longer than expected. I was just waiting for this fabric order to come into a local quilt shop in Vegas. I just couldn't settle for the white... I had to wait for the cream.
Thanks Sherry for the bassinet. My baby is going to LOVE it!

Just wonderful and marvelous! You are a great seamstress. I just wish you could have blogged that I made it, or donated the bassinet or at least paid for it! Oh well...have a great day. Love Mom
I also read your blog about your first melt down.....I am so sorry but I have an idea! I am going to send you 36 dollars. 6 x 6 is 36 so it will give you 6 free times to make a mistake or let you go somewhere even if you have to pay the toll fee! I love you.....mom
My friend who's husband is at Harvard doing orthopedics, was given some advice from her sisters-in-law...don't stress about the little money you need to spend here and there to keep you sane-it's not that much in the big picture of it all. So don't let $6 stress you too much. =) Nate and I have way more costly mistakes and we just forgot them. =) love you!!
That is so pretty! You did a really good job on it. :)
