I’m going to start on my next sewing project. I am going to use fabric from old clothes I have to create a shirt or top. I haven’t decided yet. I’ll have to sit down and design it first. Here’s a peek at the fabric I’m going to use.
But that is not what I wanted to talk about today. I have duvet covers on my mind. Remember my warm cozy duvet cover from West Elm? I want to make my own now. I can’t justify shelling out $100+ on two large pieces of cloth sewn together. I’m in brainstorm phase as to what I want it to look and how I’ll do it.
I’ve thought about buying queen sheets of some fabric and using that to make one. I have to do some research on how much upholstery fabric costs and where I can get it for less. If you know of places, do share.
For the mean time, here’s a few designs I like.
I love this modern leaf design, it is simple but it still can be used as an accent. (source)
This bamboo design is so calming. I want to fill my room with this and bamboo plants. (source)
I’m not a big fan of the black and red on bedding but the way the pattern was put together on this duvet is nice. (source)
This paisley design calls out to the Indian in me. The look is clean and crisp, perfect for a guest room. (source)
I love the colors of these, both the turquoise and the brown. I would love to see either one of these in my house. (source)
I had to throw in a purple, being my favorite color. It isn’t really purple, but anymore than this would be too feminine for our room. (source)
I kept the best for last. I can really see myself being able to make this one. It is simple but has just enough texture to make it classy. (source)
Which one do you like?
