Have you been making an effort tobuy duvet sets covers then you probably know how expensive it is to make such a purchase. Well the next best option is to just do it yourself. This article focuses on providing you with some basics on this subject matter.
Don’t worry if at first you don’t make one that are high quality like your typical 7 piece duvet cover sets 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.
The best way to sort this out is by being well organised. Start by finding all the sheets you will need. Go for a material that you absolutely adore – For instance if you interested in a satin duvet cover 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. If you love ribbons you can use them as buttons. If the sheet is longer than the quilt then fold it down on one side – about 12 inches. Then stitch it on the sides 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.
