Follow along with me on.
The thing is, when I brought this strip upstairs to hold it up to the bed and see how it would look, I quickly realized that this whole ruffle thing was going to be a little too frou frou for Kennedy.So basically half of all of those millions of strips of fabric that I’d ripped, and ironed, and sewn were totally not needed.. Oh well!
You live you learn!.I just took my strips up to the bed, got out the hot glue gun and started sticking them right on to the base fabric that I’d already put up there.. You can see that I really didn’t worry about how straight my fabric strips are.And now that the skirt is done, you’d never know!
Well, YOU know, but only cause I just told you.I just attached each fabric strip layer with a single line of glue at the top and let the layers hang down over one another.. At the top, I finished it off with a nice wide satin ribbon..
The sneaky thing is, that since I sewed the seams on each fabric strip, it really looks like the whole thing was meticulously sewn together over hours and hours and hours.. Of course,.
you and I. know the truth.. And the truth is that I got my awesome bed skirt for Kennedy’s room and still had time to do fun things like eat and sleep.. As for cleaning, I just vacuum it gently if I see any kitty furs stuck to it, but it’s not really a high-mess area, so this bed skirt getting dirty really isn’t a big issue..None of those things are necessarily easy to achieve, but armed with a little luck and a bit of knowledge, we can definitely make a big difference in those areas of our lives..
This Fall, I’ll be on a mission to help you at least get the paint part of the equation worked out.I’m teaming up with.
to help you get over your fear of picking up that paintbrush, your “paint paralyis” if you will.I’ll be writing a number of posts all about easy-peasy painting ideas, tips, techniques, and just generally being your DIY cheerleader as usual, but this time I’m also TAKING MY SHOW ON THE ROAD!.
