When I made a new quilt for my bed, I used the bed skirt I already had on the bed as a pattern of sorts. Measured what I needed for length from edge of hanging down skirt to floor and for length needed from head to foot and across the bottom. Cut, hemmed and then attached it to the old bed skirt with velcro. You can buy long lengths of it, who knew!! I sewed it to the edge of the skirt I just made and for the last time took the bed skirt off the bed, sewed the other side of the velcro to it just at the top of the part that lays flat on the box springs, put it back on the bed with a large smile because I would not have to remove the thing again. (I live alone and no one to help me maneuver a king size mattress) Now to wash the bed skirt, I just pull it off the velcro, wash and attach back. I even left the old skirt part of the bedskirt on even though it is not seen.
Whenever I need a new skirt, just make it, attach velcro and put in place. I even remove the velcro to use on the new skirt.
