Does anyone know if I can find free crib bedding patterns online which would include the comforter, bumper pad, dust ruffle, etc?
Thanks!

Just a quick note to remind you that bumper pads are "out" now, considered contributory to SIDS.

Make your own it’s easy! Just measure your crib.It’s better that way. You can put the ties and such where you want them to be. I think I’m going to be making my own too.
Like the other person said you can make all the patterns on your own. It just takes a lot of measuring to get it right. The crib sheet is a length of 44 inch wide fabric the length of the mattress plus enough on the ends to cover the depth of the mattress with a square cut out of each corner to make it fit the mattress, add a casing to thread in quarter inch elastic to hold the sheet on and sew it closed. There. Sheet is done.
Dust ruffle. Make a "deck" out of a piece of muslin (or an old sheet, it won’t show) then cut 4 pieces of fabric double the distance around the crib (for gathering) and as long as you want the ruffle to be. Hem the ruffle and gather it and attach it to the deck. Dust ruffle is done. You can add trim to this if you wish.
Bumper pad takes fabric, two layers of quilt batting and enough ties to secure it. This is easy but time consuming.
