ruffleless dust ruffle pattern sought
I'm inexperienced and wished to purchase a pattern to make a tailored bedskirt, with corner pleats, for a king size bed and was also interested in a pattern for standard, queen, and king-sized pillowcases with french seams. The pattern which I located appears to be for a twin sized bed; i.e. Simplicity 5600. I'm planning to make a log cabin quilt that would have then have a coordinating bedskirt. Perhaps there are patterns that I'm unaware of, or perhaps I could double the twin Simplicity pattern? I do best with reading and hands-on patterns versus tutorials.

See if these help. Seems to me the Simplicity pattern would have instructions for all sizes of beds, not just twin, however.

I do not make traditional dust ruffles. I make a bed skirt. Three peices ( one for each side) with a "waist band" I use the waist band part to attach to the bed /box spring with velcro. I hated washing and trying to get the traditional style on my bed by myself. The "waist" band is approx 3 inches wide . I have done these gathered and smooth. This method comes in handy for food boards... no worry about how to treat the bed post.

I started doing this after I had had enough of trying wrestle my mattress back on top of the box spring after washing the bed skirt. Now I can leave the mattress in place. I can't imagine trying to put a traditional bed skirt on a king box spring.
