For those of you who have been trying to buy 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. 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 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. Make them to be the material that you like – For instance if you interested in microsuede duvet covers then buy material made from that particular style or fabric. 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 do have an option to use ribbons if you love them. 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.
Now for the closures you can also insert a zipper, snap tape, snaps or Velcro if you are looking for something stiff. I suggest you consider nylon zippers if you are looking for something more convenient and easy to handle.
