It’s a vertical split crib bumper – the fabric panels sit next to each other. Brown strips line up with the tie locations.
I measured Bamm-Bamm’s old bumper covers and cut multiple panels of fabric (which when lined up next to each other will be the same size as the old cover - including seams – which should have been more generous considering my novice skill level).
I sewed the panels together (including narrow strips of brown fabric where I planned for the ties to be.
I sewed the top and the ends together.
It’s like a long narrow pillowcase. Ties were added and sewed into the seam like in the pic. Just pretend it’s inside-out! This (my 1st bumper) was not sewn inside-out like it should have been – I learned from my mistakes though!
Repeat seam for the bottom, with ties, except I left an 8 inch space in the middle to put the bumper in.
Close the opening with iron-on velcro.
This way I can remove the bumper in order to wash the cover.
It doesn’t fit perfectly – but you can’t tell!
