SUPPLIES:• Fabric• Matching thread• Stick-on hook-and-loop strip• Measure tape• Straight pins• Fabric scissors• Rotary cutter• Clear grid ruler• Cutting mat• Hot glue gun• Extra hot glue sticks• Iron and ironing board• Sewing machine• Seam gauge• Fabric adhesive• Binder clips• Disappearing ink pen

TIPS & TRICKS:• Around the Corner: If your bed has posts on

the front corners, make your bed skirt in three pieces—one for each visible side of the box spring.

• Strike a Match: You can cut a little time off your project with your fabric choice. Go for a solid (or less obvious pattern) if you want to skip the process of lining up the print from seam to seam.

• Sticky Situation: Stick-on hook-and-loop strips may not be strong enough to hold the weight of the fabric over time. It’s a good idea to reinforce the back of the strips with permanent fabric adhesive.

We added 10” to our starting height to allow for this.
