Once I had my fabric all ready to go, I started out by measuring how far the floor is from the bottom of the bed, dividing that by three (for three fabric layers), and then adding about a 2 inches to each number to allow for seams and for a bit of overlap.I didn’t worry about being too exact, but I wanted them to be around the right size.
Then I ripped about a million strips of each fabric to be that width.. OK, not a million, more like 6.But it looked like a million when I was sitting in the middle of all the piles!.I laid the fabric strips down and decided how I wanted to put them next..
I ironed each strip and folded over a seam that was about 3/4 of an inch wide for each.Then I sewed those seams in place.. Next, I became reunited with my old friend the glue gun.
It was a glorious day!.
I was going to use velcro strips for this step, but I didn’t have any on hand the day when the inspiration to work on this project struck, so I just went for the glue gun.Our house is 114 years old and houses this age have gone through a lot of owners and a lot of different renovations.
Typically, some good renovations, and some not-so-good.Be on the look out for a farmhouse that you can live comfortably in NOW and work on little by little over time.
When I say over time, I mean LOTS of time.Plan to not have anything change to be exactly what you want for at least 10 years.
