If you have been trying tofind some duvet covers on sale then you probably well shocked to find out about how expensive the process can be. Well the next best option is to just do it 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 discount duvet cover sets you find in stores but depending on how fast you catch on it can be something to be proud of. 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. Look for material that will suite your taste and style – for example if you want microsuede duvet covers then buy material made from that particular style or fabric. Have the side pinned and the bottom pinned as well before you consider the top and how to fold the top sides.
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. You should fold the sheet if it is longer than the quilt. I normally suggest folding it about 12 inches. You will then need to stitch it up on the sides such that it looks like an envelope closure.
As for the closure, you can choose a snap take, zipper or Velcro, depending on what suites you best. I prefer soft nylon zippers because it’s less time consuming when dressing up the bed.
