NES Bedding set

NES Bedding set

last photo ←

Thank you for checking out our project! As many of you know, my mother and I tried for a short time to remake this bedding set with the intent to start our own business. Fortunately/unfortunately, I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life this past year and have moved to another state! Because of this, my mother and I aren't able to sew together anymore, so it also meant the end of our sewing business and the NES bedding set. We had a great run with it, and I can't thank the community here enough for all the wonderful support we've had!

Best wishes,

-Cathryn

My brother has had the same bedding set since the 6th grade. For his birthday this year, my mother and I wanted to create something special and unique that would hopefully last him a while! It was tricky hiding our work from him until the last minute, but the look of surprise on his face was well worth all the effort.

I would LOVE one!!! If you don't make more...I'm actually wondering just how much Nintendo Inc. would pay you for the design so they could make them and sell them to the public giving you a % of the profit from the sales.

you could totally sell these and make money. i know my husband and i would be willing to buy one in a queen.

I know I'm totally late on this but is there ANY way you'd be willing to share/sell HOW to make these sheets? I'd love to make a set, if I cannot buy one!!

Pretty please!!

I would really love to get a set of these and I know my Girlfriend would as well. I live in Australia and things like this almost never end up down here (and I'm not as great with a sewing machine as I'd need to be) so I would really hope I could purchase a set at some point, thanks :)

I've been looking for something fun to do for my kids. They are always complaining that their bedding is too old and I have the time to make it but I just needed a little inspiration. Looks great!

I'd love to hear more about how you did all this!

Thank you! I'm still debating whether or not to do a full instructable (or a few...there's a lot involved in this project). We've been approached by someone interested in having another set made, which would be a great opportunity to get better process photos.

Nov 12, 2010. 11:48 PMasyoufadedaway13 says:

Would you be interested in selling another set? And if so how much would you want for it?

Nov 13, 2010. 7:04 AMrpaxton (author) says:

My mother and I are actually working on one right now! We will be auctioning it at the end of the month. I'll keep you posted on the exact details of the auction as we get closer to completion. Thanks for your interest!

If you made these for the rest of your life, You'd have a big enough clientele and a high enough demand for this that you would never have to do anything else again! Congratulations on a beautiful work of art!

what is your e-bay store name? so I can add it to my fav sellers. I am still really hoping on getting one :) My husband is due home from deployment in 26days!! I am so excited to see him and I know that this would be an amazing gift for him :) you 2 ladies are very creative. I have a business with hairbows and sewing cloth diapers and outfits, I totally understand how difficult sewing can be!

Hi again! That's great news about your husband - I'm sure you and your little ones are excited to have him home soon :) We'll be starting the auction next week, under the seller name systembedding. We'll also be posting updates on http://systembedding.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

Thank you so much

Please do an instructable! We still have a working Nintendo Game System, and my 12 year old would love a set!

Please let me know when you post the instructable. Thanks a million!

There is honestly no debating that needs to occur. You should SERIOUSLY make an instructable on this. It is so epic

canida says:

Please do! I know I'd love to see details, this is amazing. ;)

Sep 15, 2010. 1:37 PMkuratano says:

You should definitely think about making an actual instructable, i know plenty of us would be more than willing to purchase these from you, let alone make it ourselves

Sep 15, 2010. 1:00 PMjbridges says:

While I'm also on the list of "I'd kill for the opportunity to buy one of these" just having a full instructable would be fantastic if you have the time.. I'd give me something to do during the icy season.

If you decide to make more sets I would seriously be interested in purchasing one for my husbands birthday if the cost is reasonable.

Aug 12, 2011. 8:52 PMtbagley1 says:

given the fact that this is listed under "instructables", there should be an actual "instructable" for it. especially since there won't be anymore available any time soon.

Aug 2, 2011. 8:43 AMelisamich says:

If this is still available, please contact me :) thanks!

This is absolutely amazing and such a tease to be able to see it but not buy it or have an instructable. Still, KUDOS for an amazing project and gift. Definitely keep us posted on the ebay auction I don't think the success will be a problem! Thanks for sharing!!!

Dec 3, 2010. 4:15 PMrpaxton (author) says:

Thank you! Sorry to tease, it took a while to make another one....but the good news is that the second set is finished! No instructable yet, but we'll be selling it on eBay under the seller name systembedding. Thanks again!
