My first step was to sew a skirt to cowl the mattress. The bed on the BTRT weblog has an cute mud ruffle — however at 2am, stitching a super lengthy piece of material with casing for elastic appeared like an extreme amount of work. I did a more fitted skirt as a substitute. Ana , I suppose this is one of the best plan but.
