Ok, so here are the pics of the bed skirt. I cut the strips of organza/crepon and what I finally did later was singe the edges with a candle to keep from fraying. I had fray stop, but it became to messy and had to wait for it to dry. I then sewed a straight stitch to use for the gathering, then sewed the ribbon on the other side.
Next, I pinned the first ruffle to the bed skirt I got from Walmart and started sewing. I used white, but I think I would use a color next time. The white kind of "glows" through the sheer fabric.
I spaced the ruffles about 2 1/2 - 3 inches apart. I would suggest lightly drawing lines where each ruffle needs to go to make sure you have them spaced correctly and straight. I did this for the remaining ruffles.
Here it is finished.
My daughter's bedroom is still a work in progress. Next task is the curtains and covering the cedar chest top. The only bad thing was I started the dust ruffle before we moved the cedar chest up to her room. Now that it is in front of her bed, I really didn't need a dust ruffle. Oh well, still looks pretty!
You can see the white "glowing" through like I mentioned above. This is why I would use a colored bed skirt if I did it again. You don't notice as much in normal light, however.
