What You Will Need

  • Canvas drop cloth
  • Chair webbing
  • Tan ticking
  • Sewing machine

Instructions

  • Cut webbing to length using my stool as a guide. Then sew the ends together…
  • Used my stool to tear a piece of my canvas drop cloth to size.
  • Next take your ticking and again use your stool to measure. I made mine long enough to touch the floor. Don’t forget to give yourself enough for a seam allowance.
  • Pin the ruffles as needed.
  • After you pleat the entire way around, stop sewing before you get to the end.
  • Cut off the end even with your start piece and sew them together at that point.
  • Then finish up sewing it to the webbing.
