Sewing A Bed Ruffle - How to Make a Bed Skirt

Pin It
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.
