How To Make Duvet Covers
Have you been making an effort todiscount duvet 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. In this article I will present some few ideas on how you can go about doing this.
For a first timer making them may be a bit of a struggle and probably not the best quality like your typical 7 piece duvet cover sets you find in retail shops but the exercise can really be rewarding and self filling. One of the major difficulties with making one on your own is when it comes to taking care of the place 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. Go for a material that you absolutely adore – for example if you want satin duvet covers then I suggest you look for the relevant material. Pin the side and the bottom before moving on to the top section. Then after you can also think about 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. 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. The next step is to then stitch it up on the sides to make it look like an envelope closure.
When it comes to choosing the closure you can go for Velcro if you like something stiff, a zipper, snap tape or just snaps. I suggest you consider nylon zippers if you are looking for something more convenient and easy to handle.
