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.

Thanks, ghostrider, for the useful information.

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.

Lori -- that is ingenious!!! Thank you for the clever idea.

I like your idea, just having 3 sides with a waist band. I'm wondering about the Velcro though. Isn't that expensive?
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. |
