Are you asking for help in interior design, or are you concerned about what might fit the odd shaped bed? I can't help you with the choice of colors or pattern. If there is a woman in your life you should probably ask her because if she doesn't approve you will hear about it forever. What we have done for getting bedding to fit is to buy king size sheets and cut them down to fit the odd shaped bed. The top sheet is easy, just lay the sheet out on the bed with the top edge aligned where it needs to go. Mark the sheet down about 12 inches from the bottom of the mattress all the way around. Connect the dots, cut along the line, fold over a 1/2 inch and sew it down to make a finished seam. Bottom sheet is a little more work. Unless you need to full width at one end I would start by cutting out the elastic so that you had a flat sheet to work with. Drape it over the mattress, mark about 2 inches below the bottom of the mattress. Mark the corners by putting a safety pin at both ends of the curve. Cut along the mark, fold over the last 1/2 inch. Sew in elastic at the corners. If you are not sure of the measurements, buy a cheap set of sheets and experiment before you start cutting on expensive sheets. Besides, it is always handy to have an emergency set of sheets. Similar process with the blankets, just cut to a rough size, fold over the edge and sew to keep it from unraveling. The comforter can be a bitch. If you are just using a thin spread then you can easily cut and sew like the sheets. Big "poofy" comforters can real tough to resize and have them look decent. It may require some creative work, perhaps ripping seams out and sewing in a strip of matching material to create an edge. Good Luck Rod |
