Determine Headboard Size and Cut Fabric
Measure from top edge of baseboard to ceiling to determine headboard height. Add 12 inches to this measurement to determine length to cut fabric panels. Cut two equal lengths from fabric.
Sew Fabric Together
Stack fabric panels with right sides together and pin side seams, making sure to align pattern if using a printed fabric. Sew down entire edge of fabric on both sides, creating a long sleeve.
Cut Side Panels and Iron
Measure and mark center of one length of fabric, then cut, creating two side panels. Iron seams open on backside of fabric.
