Dutch Nursery in the USA


courtesy of the two nursery pictures: my friend L in Chicago


big reveal of the baby nursery set I made for our dear friends in Chicago. a total of 4 sheets, 3 large pillows, a little quilted cushion and drapery around the baby bed. made of fabric the mom and I carefully selected together, of the baby's dad's former favorite shirt, ultimate Dutch tile fabric, lovely ribbons with windmills, and Ikea sheets.

thank you very much again dear L for this lovely order, I truly enjoyed putting it all together and am very happy to see you love it too. for the rest of my life, when I see pictures of this set, I will be thinking back to a wonderful week together with the pregnant mama-to-be last summer, hours on whatsapp sending pictures and designs back and forth, and hours behind my cutting table and sewing machine, putting it all together.

I am quite proud of this set, totally in Dutch style with the colors of our flag, for a very special Dutch American baby boy.

happy weekend to you!

  5. Het is echt prachtig!
    En leuk om een moderne twist aan folkloristische motieven te geven. Niet alleen mooi voor de babykamer. :-)
    Goed weekend, Haafner

  8. These are gorgeous - like everything you make. I just finished making some bedding for my toddler, up-cycling an old sheet filled with memories. It was one of the most satisfying projects I have made.
