    I have used the sticky stuff once and it was a real mess...ugh when I think of that project! I will probably use an old sheet and use sew on velcro around it but I'm still thinking of other ways too. Thanks for all the comments.

    I made a white dust ruffle with lace along the bottom. It is gathered onto an old sheet cut to fit the top of the mattress. I used a machine ruffler attachment and made the dust ruffle gathered, then sewed to the sheet (measure length so it is to the floor. I use it on top of the box springs with my mattress on top and change the quilts I love to use as bedspreads. This has been a good investment for me. If you don't have a ruffler, you can also change settings on a serger so that it will gather.

    Great idea! Thanks for sharing. I am going to do that in my guest room and in my hubby's study on the antique beds. Then I might do it for the bed in my room. I will have to go hunting to find the fabric to match my bed quilts. I change them seasonally. The quilts on the other two beds stay the same and I have fabric to make skirts for both of them.
