Guide To Making Duvet Covers
Are you thinking of making your own duvet cover? Then you are just the right person to read this article. You need to read the article right through to the end to benefit from its valuable tips.
The question on how to make duvet covers can be answered in a variety of ways. My focus will be on just one specific one. Let me say this before you get all worked up – it is quite easy to create a duvet cover just as long as you follow all the laid our procedures. There is no need to stress about discount duvet covers or branded ones line what size is the poterry barn full duvet size
First thing first, choose the fabric you will be using. You will also have to take some measurements i.e. you will have to measure the length and the width. You need to know the size of the bed you will be using it on. For instance, Are you going to be using it on a single bed, queen, twin or double?
Now here is what I suggest you do. Make sure that you pick a washable fabric that could also double as a home decorator. I suggest you go for a lightweight fabric that will feel comfortable. While you are making those choices do not forget to think about the climatic conditions of your area.
Start by choosing two lengths of fabric spanning about 54 inches. You can even make it a bit wider. You will be using these for the front part. Be sure that the panels are the same size as the measurements of the length as mentioned earlier.
-Look for fabric that is a home decorator. make these about fifty four inches wider. If you duvet is wider then make them wider as well. In this case simply buy another panel of fabric for each of the duvet sides.
-Now you must think about patterns and prints that you like. depending on the type of prints you will go for some adjustments may be necessary. For example, you may have to elongate your panels.
-Prewash and iron the fabric.
-Once you have done that you then need to fold the front panel. Fold them to half lengths.
-In order to make sure the creases are sharp at the folds iron the fabric first. Once you’ve done the ironing you may then unfold the fabric.
-Do this to the back panels as well.
-Draw a line that goes right down along the length of the panel where the crease is. You will need a fabric marking pen and a yard stick for this task.
-you need to make six panels by cutting out each line. i.e., 3 shall be on the back side and then three shall be used on the front part of the cover.
-Once you have done all that the other thing to do on how to make duvet covers is to just take one panel and pin it, make sure it is that one that’s tapered to one side of the visible side or front rather that is uncut. Make sure that is it is pinned such that all fabric edges are lined up & make sure that the sides are also lined up quite as well.
What I have just said will take you miles ahead in your duvet cover making. Yes there might be a few more steps to go but then it is all up to you how you want to wrap it all up and make one that will suite just your taste and style.
