I made this! I used materials I already had on hand, and used the stuffing from a pillow we don’t use at all. One yard each of two random pieces of fabric that I’ve been holding onto just waiting for something to use them with, a pack of bias tape that never got used, ribbon that I’ve had since my wedding, a small scrap of snap tape instead of Velcro, and a small waterproof changing pad for my removable mattress! I’m 23 weeks pregnant with my 3rd, and I definitely felt like a nesting bird while assembling this baby nest! 😂 haha. Thanks for the tutorial ❤️

I watch a LOT of sewing tutorials, and this is absolutely one of the very best I've seen. Your explanations, your commentary, your sewing are so informative. You are delightful, and your Baby Nest is adorable. You did a great job of reminding people to use this under supervision. You are talented in sewing and teaching! Thank you!

Wow, went with my mother-in-law to shop for this and turned out quite expensive but we decided to get it this coming weekend. How glad I am to have stumbled across this easy-to-follow guide for making my own baby nest. Nothing beats doing things like this with your own hands. It just adds that warmth and love to the project/product you're doing with your loved ones in mind. Thank you very much for your efforts in providing this....the whole lot, video shooting, editing and then the actual sewing. Thank you. I will make an attempt to do this though I do not own a sewing machine but my excitement for my first baby will drive me to go all the way even if I have to sew this by hand and just apply double stitches to secure it. Thanks once again for this very helpful DIY.

I’m not pregnant nor have a baby but it was in my recommended so I clicked, it’s honestly so cute and so creative 💖
Yt is recommending your video so get prepared for all the comments of SIDS risk, even though you CLEARLY mention MULTIPLE times that this should only be used when supervised 🙄

Thank you for the instructions! Me and my mom is currently trying to figure out how to sew a baby nest for my baby who will arrive in about 6 weeks. The instructions for the pattern we have was super unclear so this video helped so much!

What a GREAT idea 💡!! I LOVE THIS!! I sure wish YouTube, Pintrest and just the internet in general was around when my kid's were babies 20+yrs ago to get AMAZING ideas like this. Oh well... I'll be a Grandma one day I'm sure 😊. Then I'll be able to ❤️. I seriously CANT WAIT!!! I'm so proud of my daughter for being responsible though. She's the 1st one in many many generations in our family to not be a teen mom. I had her at 16, My mom had me at 17, my grandma had her 1st at 15, my great-grandma had her 1st at 13 and my great great-grandma had her 1st at 16. I'm not sure before that. My daughter will be 21 yrs old October 25th 2020, and she's never been pregnant. She broke the cycle of teen pregnancies in our family and I'm so so proud of her ❤️.

Will also make a great bed for our beloved pets. Think I'm going to make one for my cat. Thank you for a good instructional video

Ugh! Thank you. I purchased a pattern to make one of these, and the pattern creator’s instructions were so over complicated. I couldn’t finish it because it would not turn out right the way she had done it. This makes it so much more simple.

I definitely made one today and I it! I'm currently 7 months pregnant and that took a lot out of me but the results were worth it. Thanks

[jelenajekic]

You got mad skills girl!! I'm impressed

[simonettemcminn]

Thanks so much. This is the second baby nest I have made (last time with a different instructor). Your instructions and method is much simpler and better.

[ruthgreen]

this is by far the best tutorial you talk and explain properly congratulations on a fine job thank you

For everyone having trouble with the bias binding, you're better off making a tube with fabric. I did this by cutting a strip of fabric the same length as what the bias binding would have been, and about 4 inches wide. Then you fold it in half and sew it between the two large pieces of fabric so it pokes out around the edge when it's turned in the right way. It can still be a bit fiddly on the corners but it's much easier in my opinion

For those watching and attempting this project:

1) you need at least a 1” width for the bias tape to make it wide enough for you to string the cord through with ease; making sure to sew a straight stitch hugging the bias borders so the tunnel has the most room

2) she gives no dimensions on how wide to make the bottom of the bed. Just that it is 20 cm tall. So you will have to guess

3) she does not tell or show you how hard it is to round the corners with the bias tape.

Thank you so much, this is the best DIY I've seen. I haven't sewn in a long time but have no doubt that I will manage this project with ease.

This would be a good baby shower gift! I always loved homemade gifts with my babies
