Ways To Make Duvet Covers

For those of you who have been trying tobuy full duvet cover then you probably know how expensive it is to make such a purchase. Well the next best option is to just do it yourself. Below I share a few insights on how you can do this.

For a first timer making them may be a bit of a struggle and probably not the best quality like your kristie medallion cotton duvet cover set 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. the problem may be with the sewing at the top where you would 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 a suede, velvet and satin duvet cover then I suggest you look for the relevant 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 prefer soft nylon zippers because it’s less time consuming when dressing up the bed.
