Duvet

Oh my lord.  I thought making a duvet cover would be super easy.  Make a top, make a bottom, sew three sides together and then add snaps. 

I used this tutorial on Design Sponge for the most part and the instructions from Prudent Baby for adding the snaps.

The project was almost too big for me, literally because of the sheer size of the thing.  88 inches by 92 inches finished and about  89 X 94 unfinished.  While I'm glad I made the french seams to join my panels together it was a bear to match the patterns too.  I was terrified of making a mistake that I measured and remeasured everything, matched patterns, evened out the wrinkles and measured again.  I'm happy to say that it's done and washed now, off to it's new home soon.

 

I promise to take some better pictures before sending it away.

I might make myself a duvet cover if and only if

-I can find a fabric that I love

-Double points if it comes in something wider than 45 inches (hoping to only have to join two widths of fabric instead of three with this one)

-Triple points if i won't have to fuss so much with matching my patterns

More props to my awesome iron though too.  Love that thing.
