King Size Bed Ruffles

RE: King Size Bed Ruffles Post By sandra (Guest Post) (04/26/2007) i actually made a bed ruffle for my queen bed, and except for the bulky size of a king and trying to get the mattress off to fit everything, it would work the same way. i first took the top queen mattress off my box spring, then i took a queen fitted sheet, put that on the box spring, marked with a marker where i wanted the top of my ruffle to go (as well as measured how long i wanted the ruffle to be). then i measured how long (x 2) and how wide the bed was. i multipled that # by 3 since i wanted my ruffle to be "ruffly". after sewing the ruffle, i knew where to sew it on the fitted sheet because i marked it. i then proceeded to sew it on the fitted sheet and there i had my bed ruffle, with the fabric and design i chose. it was a little bit of work, and it may not have been THAT much cheaper than purchasing one, but i got to match it up to my curtains and quilt. RE: King Size Bed Ruffles Post By Laura M (Guest Post) (05/25/2005) twice the length makes rather "flat" ruffles. For a really full look, you need at least 2.5 or 3. I agree about the flat fabric, like a drapery liner. RE: King Size Bed Ruffles Post by miss annabelle (12) | (02/10/2005) Contact well the bed ruffle you measure where you want it to cover and double it. ( if you actually want it ruffled) then you just gather and stitch it together. and the duvet, you really just want to take the measurements of what you plan to stuff it with. I am assuming you want t duvet cover? but they are usually 104" X 89". I hope this helps. good luck RE: King Size Bed Ruffles Post By Kathy K. (Guest Post) (02/10/2005) I've never made one, although I need to, but I know that for curtains it's twice the length to get the ruffles. So I presume it would be (length around bed x2 plus 1 inch for seam allowance) by (height of boxspring to floor plus 1 inch for seam allowance). I'm not sure how you would attach it, but I was planning on attaching a piece of flat fabric that I was going to tuck under the mattress. I suppose you could use elastic, but somehow that seems like too much work for me. :-)
