When I was setting up my daughter’s nursery last spring, I spent two weeks obsessing over the perfect blue rug. I wanted something soft enough for tummy time, tough enough to handle spit-up, and pretty enough to anchor the whole room.

I run a small home sewing studio, and when my daughter arrived last spring, I learned fast that a “nursery chair” had to pull double duty.
