Both looked commercially made though one had been repaired. If I were making one I would just get pre-quilted cotton yardage and bind the edges with bias tape, but you could use recycled fabrics by quilting in your own batting.Ann Gibsonhttp://www.ravelry.com/people/annknits4rossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850210578270320256.post-63799097632752775662011-07-19T08:32:45.812-05:002011-07-19T08:32:45.812-05:00What a great idea!

I suppose any heavy fabric would do since the idea is to not soil the sheets. The sheet saver would get the "abuse". Old ideas are sometimes best.

I got some as hand-me-downs but have never seen them in stores.<br /><br />Dimensions: 27" long (width of crib), about 12" wide, with ties at 4 corners. Make of fabric quilted with cotton batting, with waterproof or tightly-woven bottom layer.<br /><br />Tie the corners to the crib rails, over the sheets. Place baby on sheet saver. If baby soils the bed, remove the sheet saver, put the changed baby back down on the sheets. No need to change all the sheets in the middle of the night!Ann Gibsonhttp://www.ravelry.com/people/annknits4rossnoreply@blogger.com
