Have you been making an effort 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.

Don’t worry if at first you don’t make one that are high quality like red denim duvet cover and sheet set 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. You may have a challenge in closing off the top where you 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 instance if you interested in velvet duvet covers then I suggest you look for the relevant material. 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. 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 suggest you consider nylon zippers if you are looking for something more convenient and easy to handle.
