My sister is expecting her second on 12/5. She has the nursery almost done, but the crib skirt she picked is only 11" long, and it doesn't come close to covering the crib hardware. Does anyone sell longer skirts retail, or is this a custom deal? If it's custom, is there anyone who does it reasonably--she doesn't want to go to Cat & the Fiddle or other high-end spots. Help me help her stress less!
If you're crafty at all you could probaby use the short skirt and just add some coordinating fabric to it - like a second layer long ruffle. You could use that steam and seam tape that you just iron on and it bonds fabric, so no sewing. It is easy to use and it is cheap. You can get it at Hobby Lobby and other craft stores in the sewing section.
Check on Ebay or Google it ... you may find it, never know :o)

I had the same problem with my first son. I had mine made by a seamstress.
Go to www.etsy.com. Search for Crib Skirt. Check out the craftsmanship and prices of the sellers listed and request a custom item from any of them.
You can sort the results from lowest to highest price by clicking on the word Price twice. (Once lists them from high to low.)
Buy a second crib skirt and layer it under the first.

Might check with Hancock fabrics on their bulletin board for a seamstress.
I would check in the local business review section here at mamasource as I know that I have seen business listed on here for that. Good luck to you and your sister.
Call Carrie Smith with Bella Casa. Her number is ###-###-####. She has custom made curtains for me and I know she does bedding. I have seen the bedding she did for her sister and it was AMAZING. My curtains are awesome too. She definitely puts out a quality product and did so in a reasonable time frame. Let her know your budget and see if she can work with it.
Good luck.
Teresa Marsh in Allen can make ANYTHING. She made all of my grandsons' cutom bedding and window treatments, and my daughter and I have used her for many other projects...even a costume. She was referred to us by a friend, and we now have used her for many years. She is a wonderful SAHM working from her home. She is very reasonable. Her # is ###-###-####.
