Sewing project #3.

For the third sewing project, C11 chose to make a dustruffle for her bed.  There was a good bit of fabric leftover from the curtains that grandma made her so C11 decided to put it to good use.  I love the way she thinks!

This was not a terribly hard project.  You will need a flat sheet that you can cut up and material for the ruffle.  You will also have to measure your bed. 

This is a plain flat sheet, and it was around $6.
C11 cut the fabric according to the measurements.  These pieces will be sewn onto the flat sheet.
I hated to put this on the floor but there was not a big enough table so on
the floor it went (GASP!).  She pinned the fabric onto the flat sheet and started to sew.
This is the finished product.   She really did a great job, and she loves the class.

The final class is Monday, and she has one more project to complete. 
She has learned a lot about sewing and had a great time doing so.  She also made some really nice things.

  2. Yes, she cut the sheet flat. She cut 2 pieces of the fabric to make ruffles for each corner so nothing would show. It really was not too hard, especially for someone like you, crafty you!
