Making a Duvet Cover Queen

Welcome to our Duvetcoverqueendeals.com. Here you will be able to find suppliers of all types of   Making a Duvet Cover Queen in the colors and size you need to make your bed time comfortable and stylish.

Duvet cover queen are rather versatile when you think about it. If you want something that is really different for your bedroom, you may find expense is an issue in fancy, unique, well made fabric. Designer labels are pricey, especially if you aren’t shopping during a white sale. The versatility of the duvet makes them worth it, and a necessity for a comforter, but you don’t want to spend the money. Even an inexpensive comforter can be transformed into a stylish work of art with a unique duvet cover. They are great for your kid’s rooms because they can easily be changed when the child grows.

A teddy bear duvet might be good one day but you blink and he’s ready for a NASCAR print. You will save even more money if you make the duvet yourself. Even a novice can pull this off. Just think of a duvet as a giant pillow case with some sort of closure at the end. That doesn’t seem too hard does it? A pillow case keeps the pillow clean as you sleep on it, and the duvet does the same thing. All types of bedding should be soft and supple since it is next to your skin.

You are going to be making this yourself, so don’t scrimp on fabric. Find good quality fabric in a soft cotton or blend. I love flannel on the bottom and it is available in lovely colors and prints. It will be repeatedly washed so look for one that is yarn dyed. You can even find two sheets on a clearance table that are a steal. This would be the easiest because no cutting is involved. Wash and dry either fabric or sheets before you begin as this will curtail shrinking disappointments down the road.

If you haven’t already purchased a comforter, think about how it will look on the bed. Do you want more of an overhang on the sides or is your partner prone to stealing the covers? If so, you might want to buy a size that is a little larger than your size of bed. The completed presentation might look more finished if you do so.

• Measure your comforter and add one and a half inches to the width and three and three fourths inches to the length allowing for seams and hems. If you have sheets, just look at the dimensions on the package.
•  If you have chosen sheets, I would suggest not buying two of the exact same thing. Make things more interesting by buying complementary patterns and colors so it can be turned over for a new look. Don’t be afraid to mix it up a little.
• 
  If you have chosen fabric, you must piece it together as you won’t find fabric with the width you need. Here is where creativity comes in. You can choose lots of matching patterns and colors and stitch them together to make the top of your duvet, just measure how big you want your “blocks” of fabric to be and go from there until you have enough for the top of the duvet. If this sounds like too much work, just use one or two fabrics and do the measuring.
• Place the wrong sides together and stitch with a quarter inch seam along the top sides. If a sewing machine is a foreign thing to you, there are many types of glue on the market that will do the job as well.
• You can create a fanciful closure by sewing large buttons at the top, folding it over and stitching ribbons to the other side of the top. Make sure it represents a nice fold and tie the ribbons to the buttons. Nothing could be simpler. For a more country look, take strips of torn fabric and stitch them where you placed the ribbons. They will fray, but that’s the point. Your duvet cover will take on a shabbier chic look.

Let the creative side come out and decorate your bedroom in the style and color that you choose, and save money at the same time.

Making a duvet cover for your comforter

It can be amazing to see how expensive duvet covers are, while sheets can be bought relatively inexpensively. But you can easily make your own duvet cover for your bed without spending an arm and a leg.

First, select buy two top sheets from any store that sells bedding. You can choose two coordinating sheets, so you can reverse it for two different looks. Or you may want pattern on one side and solid color on the other. Be sure to pre-wash your sheets first.

Next, stop at a fabric store. In their zipper section, they carry bedding zippers in many sizes, including Queen and King. Choose a zipper the right size and coordinate the color of possible. However, you may only be able to find them in one or two colors. If you can't match, don't worry, you won't see too much of the zipper anyway.

With a tape measure, measure the size of your comforter or duvet. You will want to add one inch to the measurement, then cut the two sheets at that size. Then, with right sides of the sheets facing each other, pin the zipper in place along the bottom edge and sew one side of the zipper on one side of the sheet, with the other side on the other. Many find it easiest to sew it with the zipper zipped up.

Next, pin the sides and sew 1/2" from the edges on the top and both sides, and sew the remaining sides.

Then, remove the pins and you are done!

This is a great way to not only save money on your bedding, but there is often a much larger selection of prints and patterns for sheets than there is with duvet covers. Not to mention the fact that the nice duvet covers always sell so fast! If you have an eye for colors and coordinates, you could even sell duvet covers you make to others!
