Have you been making an effort to buy a 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. In this article I will present some few ideas on how you can go about doing this.

As a starter the outcome may not be the best quality like duvet sets covers 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.

To try and assist you with this, start by organizing the sheets. Make them to be the material that you like – for example if you want a microsuede duvet cover 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.

Make the buttonholes at the top right. This should be exactly where the two sheet ends are joined together. You can also use ribbons if you like. You can fold the sheet about 12 inches down on one side, at the top if it is longer than the quilt. 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. My best option is nylon zippers. This is because they make it easy for me to dress up the bed.
