Sewing A Bed Ruffle - How to Make a Bed Skirt

I'm going to be 100% honest....

"If I knew what I know now, I would have written the check and purchased a ruffle."

And my ruffle didn't ruffle

Not hard, but planning it out, cost of fabric and TIME 

Here's a bit of what I did. Link to wall quilt HERE

From Pinterest, me if you want to follow HERE 

I found lot's of ideas.

Measure, re-measure EVERYTHING and plan it OUT ! 

Used the old one's, thin lining. 

I left the green on until I was all done.

Added a border to each side and the bottom

See My Quilt Patterns and Quilt Stores

Sewn on the lining

After I had the two sides for each corner sewn on I didn't like seeing the mattress. I made corner insert.

Added it on

On my sewing room floor

 On the bed

Back of one of my quilts. 

I'm NOW thinking about doing something on the headboard to define it, ???? as Husband says, "She's never done."
