Flowery Cot Tidy

by Mrs Poornima Masoorkar

I had brought a flowery printed cotton cloth from the market for making a mattress cover for my grandson, on which he could sit and play.This idea was shelved, thinking that a baby would hardly restrict himself to one place. To utilize the cloth creatively ,I then thought of making a cot tidy for his crib.

As you can see in the picture, the cot tidy was made with four matching pockets in plain pink and turquoise colors. The cot tidy is fixed to the crib with loops in pink and green fastened with Velcro tapes, and embellished with Flower buttons. The stitching all throughout is internal and cannot be seen, even in the pockets. All pockets are 10 inches deep and 7 inches wide, making them spacious, good enough to hold many baby things required.

From the same material I also made a crib sheet, and a Diaper stacker to match.
