WANTED: I need ideas

16 years ago

I thought it would be a good idea to put a skirt on the front of my daughters old desk she now uses as a dressing table, along with a cover on her vanity seat. I am not sure how since I have always used a pattern. Any ideas or help would be appreciated, thanks.

I think I would just gather the fabric onto some elastic and hem the edges. Putting it around the desk. You could even leave an open elastic band on the back of the desk so her knees will sit in there comfortably. If the chair has no back you could do that, or if the seat comes out, just cover the seat.
