How to make a duvet cover from sheets.

So why not customize your own to exactly what you like by making your own duvet cover out of flat sheets. Duvet covers make a big statement in a bedroom but sometimes it s so hard to find one that i love without it being. To cut and make the duvet cover follow this short list of steps. If necessary since manufacturers sizes vary cut sheets so they are each 2 inches wider than comforter and 3 inches longer to accommodate seams.

There aren t strict standards for bedding sizes so you can make any size cover just measure your own duvet and add allowance. Lay one sheet on the table or floor wrong side up. Most bedding manufacturers use the same fabrics for the sheets as they do in their duvets so you would be working with pretty much the exact same quality material anyway. I don t know why everyone in the world who has access to a sewing machine doesn t do this but i have always.

Cut out the sheet the same size as the duvet cutting off the excess fabric from the bottom sides and top. Center your duvet on the sheet so that the edges of the duvet are inside the hemmed edges of the sheet.
