Ok, I try to give frequent encouragement (ie telling you you’re normal to hide , then partake of a treat without including children)- today, though I ve sewn most of my life, would so appreciate consideration of use of your serger. Loving parents who intentionally raise solid kids. Elizabeth
Hi, Lisa, what a great solution to the problems brought up by antique beds, they look lovely and the boys have a fort to stretch their imagination! I not long ago found buying a set of curtains was cheaper than buying the actual fabric by the yard when I covered a headboard to match my curtains. It certainly pays to think outside the box! Linen is usually quite expensive. Enjoyed the video, thank you. Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
Latina next door is awesome. And so are you. I do love no dollar tree projects, using old or up cycled materials . Keep up the great work, Lisa. And thank you!
Those linen bedskirts turned out so lovely! I am going to have to make something similar for my daughters' room when it comes time to decorate! It was a pleasure teaming up with you Lisa! Thank you so much for always inspiring me to create handmade pieces for my home. 💕
You both are so talented and have different but spectacular channels. I was subscribed to you both before this collaboration and learn so much from you. Thanks for sharing your creativity. xoxo
When I was a child (eons ago) my mom made most of our bedspreads, clothes, etc., and she taught me. I distinctly remember that, back then, beds could be “singles” which were slightly wider than “twins”. Now I think only twins are manufactured… I love watching your channel!
I just stumbled on your videos today. I wanted to let you know they are beautiful but most of all you are a SUPERHERO. What YOU ARE ABLE TO GET DONE with kids was beyond me. Thank you for sharing your life it's inspiring for woman and you should be very proud.
I've never really thought of bed skirts. Never had them growing up. But I LOVE how you told your son you were making it a Fort!!! BRILLIANT!!! Now I need to do this for my daughters!
I was going to comment about your way of cutting and free handing, but then I read JoAnn LeBoeuf's comment and realized that she has already 'used up' all the words I was going to use. Really, congratulation on making it all so much easier than I ever could.
These linen skirts are amazing! I love the look on your boy's beds, what beautiful beds. I love anything antique. But what I really love is how you used a tablecloth instead of buying fabric, genius! Hugs, Brenda
I have an antique rope bed and sure pleased to know how to make a bed skirt for it. Thank you. Mine has been converted too with the steel pieces and I ended up with round curtain rods mounted in back of the side rail and made a dust ruffle like a curtain to slide on the rod. Like yours so much.
Coming over from the Latina Next Door! Love people who sew! It's becoming a lost art and is so useful! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the tablecloth hack! I once made a bed skirt from a shower curtain because I liked the fabric and the price was better. Great tutorial! =)
You did a beautiful job! My daughter's antique iron bed was a "three quarters size" which was apparently a popular size in the late 1800s. It is smaller than a double bed, but larger than a twin. It was quite a challenge, but my husband created a wood frame that sat on top of the iron rails, transforming it to accommodate a standard or double bed mattress. Ah, those were the days! My daughter still owns the bed - it's safely stored away.
That was a great video. Such a good tutorial. You make everything seem a cinch......but I know it takes experience to make it look so easy. Your children’s room looks great, and I like it very much. I wish I was your neighbor.
Oh so exited you collaborated with Yami! I’m subscribed to her channel as well...love these bed skirts. Your style is so simple and cozy. Thank you for this great tutorial ❤️
I have the exact same issue with our bed frame and was planning on doing this, so thank you! I actually love the ties and will go straight to doing that.
Hi Lisa, I’m a sewer too, I often sew daily and have sewn since I was 7 or 8. I love seeing what others are making. Thank you for sharing. 💗 Chris-Raleigh NC
This turned out so nice! I’ve also used different fabrics from inexpensive curtains for: pillows, sheer or lace bed skirts, etc. I always check the thrift store first because ya just never know what gem you may discover.
These bed skirts are really pretty! You have great ideas.. I would like to make some, however, I think I will wash the fabric first so they don’t shrink when laundered. I will check out the other gal’s channel.
Thank you for having garden nails. Some days I feel like I'm the only one. Always keep it real ❤ Would also love if you could create a serger tutorial. I have a basic machine and have no clue how to properly use it. 🙈
eleisa barbour One of the most important things about a serger is learning how to thread it quickly. Check out this blog post : sewinggarden.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/how-to-thread-a-serger-quickly/
If you where to move the steel hangers for the bottom box frame to the inside of the frame, you could make the skirts in one or two pieces. Just a thought. Rick.
Came over from Latina Next Door and ❤️ your channel! You two make me want to get a sewing machine and try making things! If you haven’t seen her custom shower curtain with ruffles, you should. I really like Yami’s videos!
I have two antique rope beds which aren't set up for box springs. We put thick plywood, cut in the center vertically. The plywood rests on the rails and a mattress on top. The rails are longer than the antique ones so the full size mattress has room.
This turned out so nice. It looks great. Thanks for sharing. I came over from the Latina next Door’s channel and I subscribed to yours. Looking forward to more DIY’s.
My daughter's antique (subsequently higher) bed will get a bed skirt soon. I don't sew but I think I can either sew a simpler version by hand or pay a friend or dry cleaner to sew for me.
I have a antique Jenny Len bed, which is also larger than today’s twin beds. Both my mom and grandma called it a 3/4 bed. I searched and you can purchase mattresses to fit this size bed. We did choose to use a twin mattress which leaves space on both sides of the frame. Has that been your experience.
Beautiful! Came over from Yami's channel. So wish I knew how to sew. Bought a machine and tried i kept getting all this thread caught up from the thread under (can't remember what that's called). I've got another machine, is a vintage (electric) singer. Think that'll work? It's got a knee push instead of a foot.
I wish so much that I could do something like this. You make it look so easy. I agree with you about old antique beds they really just withstand anything. I kinda have a really dumb question but I guess if I want to learn I have to ask what is a surger ? I’m assuming it’s an option that comes on sewing machines and not all have them, with that being said would you happen to have a recommendation on a good starter sewing machine? I really want to learn mostly to start making curtains, bed skirts maybe eventually a chair slip cover. If all that goes well I would then love to attempt cute little girl dresses, simple one piece rompers etc. Thank you for all the great videos you post I always love them. Thank you for any recommendations you can give me on a decent starter sewing machine I want one that’s easy to use but will take me a little more than just a beginner if that makes sense lol.. take care of them kiddos n yourself my friend 😘
Hi Kim, I have a whole post about the basic sewing essentials for beginner sewers with links to machines and other supplies. You can check it out here: www.farmhouseonboone.com/basic-sewing-essentials-for-a-beginner A serger is basically a machine that makes a finishing stitch on the fabric. Having a nice finishing stitch also helps the fabric fibers not to unwind in the washer and drier. I made a whole series for beginner sewers with all the basics and a few projects to teach you how to sew. You can find the series here: www.farmhouseonboone.com/simple-sewing-series Thank you so much for following along. I am so glad my videos are helpful for you! :)
That is a lot of added weight on those old beds. Is that platform for the mattresses just setting on those 4 iron brackets? That bed may not be able to hold that for long.
I commented on the other video so ill ask again here. What size bed do you have for the boys bed. My twin is to small for my bed and I don't know how to make it look good.
@@FarmhouseonBoone the reasons I am curious is because my house has 3 bedrooms, and I always want to have more kids. I really like you and your family and want to see how you decorate for lots of kiddos around! Thanks for your reply Lisa!
Hi Frank, every machine is a little different yours should have come with a owners manual which will have directions for threading and basic operation. If you don't have the book maybe find the exact model and google it to find out how to do this. Hope that helps you.

I’m always so amazed at how you just cut free handed and everything seems to fit just perfectly in the end. Another wonderful project 🥰
I like the way she just goes for it and everything doesn't have to be exactly perfect. Always seems to come out great !
Wish I could sew more like this! Would make sewing more enjoyable.

I'm amazed how you can whip up those bedskirts in your busy days lol, you make it look so easy! I'm in awe of your sewing skills😊
Wonderful job Lisa!!!! 👍🏻😊
Antique is the best! They don’t make furniture now like they used to!

I love those quilts! Your home is so warm and cozy looking! I look forward to each and everyone of your videos!
They turned out so cute!
I actually woke up this morning thinking I need to get a bedskirt for my sons bed. I think I may try yours. Thank you love them.😁
So timely!
Beautiful! I love sewing home decor❤️
I love your linen bedskirts. I need to make one for one of my antique beds that needs a different length.
That was a great video. Such a good tutorial. You make everything seem a cinch......but I know it takes experience to make it look so easy. Your children’s room looks great, and I like it very much. I wish I was your neighbor.
There look fantastic so easy to make too

These turned out beautifully! Can't wait to make one for my own bed.
I have an antique twin similar to yours and was looking for a way to make a dust ruffle. This is an excellent idea! Thank you for your inspiration!
I follow you and she holds Dearly and now latina next door - love your inputs
Lisa the room looks so pretty 👍
Neat idea to use a table clothe. 😊

You did inspire me. I have a very high rice poster bed. I don’t like the off the rack bed shirt. I am going to make my own. Thanks
Luv linen
Great job!
As your children grow, they'll appreciate the extra inches on their beds!
Agree!
Thanx this is a super cool idea.i am going to copycat you to make this for our normal bed.just to make something fancy...

I love the rattan rug, where did you get it?
Great job Lisa. Won’t the linen shrink when you wash it?
I was wondering the same thing. I usually wash the fabric first.
Do you use a twin bed mattress box spring?

Is this mattress good for heavy people?

Looking for a sewing machine but no clue about them? What's a good reliable, affordable one you guys recommend?

Those beds are called 3/4 beds. I had one . They are a pain to buy sheets for.
Donna Cobb I have one too. I bought vintage cotton sheets on eBay that are full size and they fit pretty well.
It looks like you need a nautical theme for that room
Sandy Kobke I don’t think Lisa is into themed rooms.
Hi Lisa! Don’t you have 4 boys? Why you only have 2 beds for the boys?
Yes - i have 4 boys. The two oldest have those beds & i have another one on the back wall that is different. The youngest is still in my room☺️
