Years ago I made box pleated bedskirt (along w/cafe curtains for quick 'n easy window covering for my son's room.) He kept saying he wanted "something different- and when he mentioned it the third or fourth time I knew it was important to him so got busy. They were cute- but plan on keeping the vacuum handy & cleaning your machine every little while. Burlap is loaded with fillers or ?

I serged the hem of cotten linings & left it 2" shorter so frayed bottoms would show. Didn't take me long to figure out I needed to do that part outside!

Sneeze,sniffle,gag,choke!!LOL Have you ever worked with this stuff.It has major dust issues.I worked in a fabric store and we all hated to sell this stuff.Thankfully most people only bought it at halloween time for costumes.I don't think it washes very well either.

Good Luck!!

When my sister and her husband were first married they belonged to a group who held a lot of dances and she made a formal out of burlap!! Of course it was the talk of the night!!
