A Buyer s Guide To Baby Bedding
Consider Making Your Own Bedding. You don't have to be an expert seamstress to make your own crib linens. Your baby isn't going to be picky and you don't even need a sewing machine. You could pick up a cute fitted sheet and then create a baby blanket using soft fabrics such as flannels or fleece.
There are many ways you can innovate if you just imagine. Having a baby is one of the most beautiful events in a family. The expectations and excitement is of a different level. Preparing your nursery is just one factor, but it is one of the most pleasurable activities.
When it comes to sheets, you need to consider thread count. What exactly is thread count? It's the number of vertical and horizontal threads in a square inch of fabric. In linens thread count ranges from 80 to 700, although most sheets sold commercially are in the range of 180 to 320. The higher the thread count, the softer and silkier the sheets feel. Sheets with higher thread counts are usually more expensive as well. But be aware, some manufacturers make questionable claims of higher thread counts.
Help them choose what to put on their beds. This could be a good quality time with your kids. For sure little girls would choose a bedding set that has flowers, butterflies, or polka dots as designs. Anything that has a pink shade will also attract the girls. They may even choose sets that have prints like the Disney Princesses, Barbie, or anything that is girly to the eye.
The flannel is very good because it keeps baby nice and warm. The satin is good for babies skin and hair. There are also numerous other textures such as suede, chenille, and corduroy. Eco Friendly bedding is my absolute favorite. There's nothing better for your baby than all natural ingredients in the bedding you know is going to touch there sensitive skin. Hypo-allergenic plus there are no dyes used and no chemicals. All colors are added naturally.
For girls below 12 years old but not way below than 5, you can try giving them cartoon character themed Bedding sets. To make sure that you are getting the right one for them, it's best to ask the child's parents. On the other hand, you can still try giving cartoon character themes for girls aged 13 until 17 or even up. That is if they really happen to like that particular character. But there are also other shops which sell personalized character themed Bedding sets based from movies and real celebrities. You can also try giving these for a change.
A quilt is different from a duvet, although the terms may be used interchangeably in Britain. A quilt consists of two pieces of fabric with batting in between them, all sewn together through a technique called quilting. Traditional quilters used calico, which is a type of muslin. A patchwork quilt consists of pieces of fabric sewn together randomly (called a crazy quilt) or in a pattern. Quilts are often very colorful.
Blue is the most common color selected for boys. There are several options here as well, including themes such as "forest" or "jungle" sets. Collections like these might have leopard or cheetah prints with a mix of green, earth, and honey. Healthy cotton and soft velvet could be the fabrics used. Other themes you might find for baby boys are sky and sea ones.
