Using bed skirts to make window treatments

Jenifermacfarland on Jan 10, 2015@Sandra Hall Dust ruffles are usually 14" deep, while window toppers (valances) are usually 18" deep. Why not attach two lengths together to make a layered look 18" deep?Helpful Reply

Fossilsue on Jan 11, 2015Hi, This won't help with the curtains but I used my Queen size dust ruffle as a canopy over my bed. It matched the duvet. My ceiling is white so the most of the ruffle doesn't show only the side fabric that hangs down. The top edge without the fabric was put on the ceiling at the top of the bed.We stapled it to the ceiling and it looked great. When we took it down it was no problem to do.Helpful Reply

Belinda Todd on Jan 11, 2015You could cut the ruffle completely off of the flat part which will release all of the gathers. Turn the unfinished over to sew a casing in whatever width you need for the rod you will be using.Helpful Reply
