My personal preference is to start in the middle and work towards the corners and put extra fabric in the corner miters if needed. The corners are already tight before stapling so I like to keep an eye on the top seam to make sure it is even all the way around.
Hi Scott, I had a question about making a crib skirt, boxpleated, the crib measurements are 28 x 52, drop is 16.5. I was trying to add up the half pleats on the corners and the center pleats, I calculated 200 inches. Is that correct, I wanted to make a crib skirt for my nieces baby
It is hard for me to determine because the skirt can be either 3 side or 4. I like to use 6” for a 1/2 kick pleat and 12” for full kick pleat. It has been a boatload of time since making one but I believe the corners need to be split pleat to accommodate the box spring attached to the crib legs if you are sewing it to a fabric deck like you would on a dust ruffle
Great job!!!
Thank you!!
I’ve made a few beds for my senior pups.
Boy aren’t we all have mobility problems, I am lol
Me too! I had my left hip replaced 8 years ago and right knee replaced 7 months ago!
Scott have you done a tutorial on head boards, I’m getting ready to make my first cornice board, gathering my supplies.
I have made head boards but a very long time ago and if I ever make another one I will be sure to make a video, good luck on your cornice project!
So why didn't you start stapling each side from the center and work to the corners? You get to fold the corners evenly that way.

Thanks for your video. Do you still sell your curtain patterns?
Unfortunately I do not have the time right now!
