question for the gals, bed skirt

[CountryGuy]

OK, gals, those of you that have bed skirts, how have you attached, etc?? Need some ideas. Thanks

[vickir]

Ours goes under the mattress.

[CountryGuy]

Vicki, does it have the full sheet (bad description, I know)??

[drhowell]

Barbara says ours goes under the mattress directly on the plywood frame. It has the full sheet with the about 14" skirt attached. Ends up about 3 inches off the floor. Hides most of the bed frame.

[CountryGuy]

Thanks Don and Barbara,

Anyone attach a bed skirt WITHOUT the full sheet??

[prariepoodle]

Carol, I made my bed skirt and attached it to the edge of the box with the bed raised with thumb tacks. Click on my prariepoodles pictures link below and then on album MY MONTANA I have pictures there.

[vickir]

Since we slide our mattress down about four-five inches, we added an extra board to support the end of the mattress. The full-sheet bed skirt goes over the extra board, giving us an extra four-five inches storage at the end of the bed ... the perfect size for cartons of Coca-Cola and laundry detergent.

Thanks Linda!

DO you ever take it off to wash??? Nice job by the way!>G>G>

[prariepoodle]

Carol, Yes I remove it for washing,it is made in 3 sections that overlap each other.It is a easy job to remove the whole skirt or if something gets on one section just remove it to wash.The best part is ironing with spray starch so it is crisp.(oh my poor back)LOL But I love the way it looks when it is done.

[CountryGuy]

Thanks for the ideas gals, if anyone else has some, bring em on!

Prariepoodle------When you say "click on my prariepoodles pictures link below" where do you click? Would love to see your pics!

[CountryGuy]

mfoss,

right under the photo of Linda's truck is a link that says, "Prairiepoodles pictures". Click RIGHT on the words!!

[mfoss]

I'm a little embarrassed as I can't even find the truck. I clicked on prariepoodle which took me to her profile but sure can't find a truck there.....?

[CountryGuy]

go back to page 1 of this thread, read her post again, her photo of her truck is right there, HOWEVER, if it it is NOT, then contact a MOC admin person, you might have something set up wrong?? or, you might be using a different browser?? I use IE and the photo of her truck is right there in the middle of the message, hey!! can you see photo of Carol and Al, in this post????? If not, something is fishy! Good luck

[mfoss]

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Something is fishy, I guess, because there is no truck on her post and not a picture of Carol and Al. I did click on "countryguy" after my last post and I've really been enjoying looking at your Montana, the Yorkies, and some of your Texas adventures! Somehow I feel a little better knowing it's not something I'm doing or not doing!!! Many times in the past people have said to look at this, click here, etc and I'm wondering why I can't do it and everyone else can. I'll contact MOC and HOPEFULLY I'll be able to follow the directions to get this rectified!! Many thanks, Marilyn

[CountryGuy]

Good luck Marilyn.

let us know when you get it fixed! hey, good thing you asked! I'll bet you will be surprised what is on the forum once you clear up the situation! HA HA

We have a king size bed ruffel, taken in, in center so doesn't hang over too much on one side. Going to change soon. Getting one I have seen in a catalog with the stretch that fits around the bed. I am going to fasten this with velcro so should be easy to remove and wash.

[CountryGuy]

Thanks Dustytuu

Went to Walmart today and bought the material for a bed skirt just spent 2 hrs sewing and it is on the bed!!! I love the way it looks, thank you for the great idea!!

[CountryGuy]

rogersuemegan

I have material, NOT sewn, NOT on bed, NOT in Montana. You are way ahead of me.

Not that I have been ignoring the situation, just life got in its way! Congrats on gettin yours done.
