Word of advice....be careful where you get your sewing instructions.
Following duvet making instructions from a miscellaneous site, I bought the listed amount of material for the proper bedding sizes. Unfortunately there was no where on those instructions that told me this would only cover the front!
I thought at the time, "This is a lot of material!". Not once did I think it wouldn't be enough.
While I only need a 15 x 84 inch piece for the Twin Cover, I'll need another 5 1/2 yards for the Double. NUTS!
I am beginning to think it would have been cheaper and easy to buy covers. I would have, but the ones I liked were at least $100, the cheaper ones where not as pretty. I have beautiful material, the kids are going to love it. If it gets done!
I've spent $189 on 3 duvet covers so far, how much more will I need to spend??
I am currently undoing 1/4 of the stitching I did late last night.
Mistake #2 Sewing while tired = miss calculations in measurements. OOPS!
