Tips For Making A Duvet Cover From Sheets
For those of you who have been trying tobuy full duvet cover then you probably well shocked to find out about how expensive the process can be. Don’t give up just yet because you can make the cover yourself. This article focuses on providing you with some basics on this subject matter.
As a starter the outcome may not be the best quality like duvet cover set queen sizes you find in retail shops but the exercise can really be rewarding and self filling. The first hurdle you are probably going to encounter is that of making the perfect insertion point i.e. where the sheets are inserted. You may have a challenge in closing off the top where you have your closures.
I suggest you start from the beginning. First, organize all the sheets that you will need. Make them to be the material that you like – for example if you want microsuede duvet covers then it’s best you get the matching material. Before you think about folding the top sides you must first pin the bottom and side.
Now, you will have to make buttonholes at the top, right where the two sheet ends join together, and use buttons to close. You can also use ribbons if you like. If the sheet is longer than the quilt then fold it down on one side – about 12 inches. The next step is to then stitch it up on the sides to make it look like an envelope closure.
As for the closure, you can choose a snap take, zipper or Velcro, depending on what suites you best. I suggest you consider nylon zippers if you are looking for something more convenient and easy to handle.
