Mini Makeover Part 2…dropcloth bedskirt

3:16 pm by kim 45 Comments

Hi everyone.
Thanks for the lovely comments regarding my sewing tables to night tables!
I am really pleased with them. They’re the perfect size for my room and I love the height. There is also room to place baskets underneath for added storage!

Well, here is part 2 of my little mini makeover.
I’ve been planning on doing this project for months now as my old bedskirt just wasn’t cutting it. There were very few bedskirts that I liked and the ones I did like were too expensive. So…I would have to make my own, back to my old standby fabric, the dropcloth.

Yes that’s Jack’s tail in the pic. He was all over this bed. He loves to be in  the middle of my photo shoots for some reason.lol

Here is the before bedskirt. A little bland eh!

 I just love the casual look of dropcloth, wrinkles and all.

Here is a sideview.
Jack thinks it’s His bed.

A view from the other side, In case you couldn’t tell!

Jack says thanks for visiting and admiring His my new bedskirt.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when l reveal what I did with that 112 year old door/headboard!

Be blessed!

I’ll be partying with these ladies:

    I LOVE it and WANT it! I think you should give us a tutorial on how you made it…I don't want to have to figure it out!

    Your bed looks heavenly! I'm working on changing my bedroom and bummed now that I don't have a big fluffy bed! πŸ™‚

    I'm planning to use a drop cloth for a bed skirt too… I'd also like to know how you went about making it (like Sarah at myyellowhouse).

    I can see why Jack loves your bed so much…it looks so cozy and his beautiful fur coat looks fabulous on it. After having my fabric for five years now, I am getting ready to start my bedskirt. Any tricks of the trade?

    Love the bed skirt, and my friend Cindy is making one for my guest room she is also making the duvet cover and the euro shams all with our beloved drop cloths… I was in Lowes picking up three more and there was a painter guy standing next to me and he said "looks like you got a lot of painting to do" I looked at him and said NO I'm sewing new linens for my bed… You should have seen his face, Priceless…

    Your bed skirt looks fantastic…yet another thing drop cloth is great for. I hope they don't up the price when they find out all the uses for it!! I am planning on covering my vanity bench with it. I think it is Project # 113!

    Great job!

    Oh Kimberley it's fabulous. I love how full it is and the contrast in color with the white coverlet is wonderful. Well done. You've once again inspired. I'd love to make one of my own.

    Gorgeous! You just answered my year long quest for finding a new bedskirt. I've been looking forever and they are either really bland or you have to buy the whole bedspread set to get the skirt. Perfect.

    What a clever idea. A natural, even slightly wrinkled look appeals to my casual nature.

    I need a bedskirt for my bed. We put the bed up on risers. I love a high bed, and I love the extra storage space it created. I do not love that my bedskirt is too short. You can buy skirts for high beds, at a high price. Maybe I could make a skirt from a dropcloth, too. I'm not much of a seamstress, but I can sew simple stuff. Great idea!

    Very cute! Dropcloths are great for making tablecloths, curtains, and throw pillows too, especially outside…I am always buying 1-2 yards of prints I love at Home Fabrics, because eventually I know I can pair them with solids when I want to update my look, which I'm in the process of doing right now…love French Country…love those dropcloths…great work!

    It looks totally amazing girl!!!! Wooooooo Hoooooooooooo!!! Love the fullness & the wrinkles too πŸ™‚

    btw….isn't that fabric just so unbelievably impossible to iron????? I don't know what the deal is or why….but it makes me crazy trying to iron it.

    Love love love your room!
