You are SO talented! What amazing work! And I love the tricks with the safety pins at the end! It is always so hard to get the duvet into its cover! How would you take a King-sized duvet cover and cut it to make it into a double? Also, take the leftover fabric to make two double pillows? I bought a smaller bed and I'd like to repurpose the old bedding. Thanks!

[@DNSMLT]

How much fabric do I need for a twin duvet?

[@hugsandkisses708]

I told my husband I am going to make the bedding for everyone in our house (us and our six kids). This video is a great tool to accomplish that goal.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Wonderful! Glad to hear it!

[@imaamericangirl1406]

How did it go?

[@whispasoft]

VIDEO OF THE YEAR! Instructions without to excess talking. Instructions on point, Thank you so much.

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Teresa, so right you are! Im wondering if the crafty-type vid presenters are very lonely ppl or just dont have a clue as to how to do a professional job? Probably just me but i could also do wo the music. Anything that distracts from the learning process should be eliminated. We can always switch to musical vids if we want that medium, eh?

[@jyes23.]

Totally agree

[@jyes23.]

Not about the music love the music excess talking I don't like

[@dreasmom2789]

This is perfect I bought yards and yards of fabric years ago, didn't use from what I planned it just never wanted to get rid of it. Now I can make a backup duvet.

[@denisecatalan9833]

This was a great video! There’s so many variations you can do too like buttons instead of snaps. But I wouldn’t put the pins in, even with tape. I actually would put on the inside some fabric to tie the comforter. Like on each corner, sew in some fabric to tie the blanket in place. You can hand sew it or with the machine. I find this method so much easier and safer

[@jamiefromtexas1380]

Thank you. This is the most commonsense approach I have seen.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Glad it was helpful! best of luck with your project!!!!

[@newbeequilter]

I really don't enjoy buttonholes for duvet covers, so using the snap tape you suggested will make it so much easier! I like how you started off the tutorial by not only stating, but showing the supplies needed to make this. Oh my! This is just THE tutorial I wanted to see for how to make a duvet cover. Your method and instructions for matching the prints on the fabric was my favorite tip. I also like the French seams and how simple it was to use the snap tape vs. other methods (for me anyhow). And showing how attractive it can be to use reversible coordinating fabrics at 8:46 was like putting a cherry on top of a classic sundae desert. Your instructions, the camera work, close-ups, and editing were just topnotch. I think I better check out a few more of your channel's YT videos and your website. Thank you so much. I just checked out the link on your website you gave in the description below the video title for detailed instructions written out - terrific!

You’re so good in instructing us, it becomes easy to follow because of how you explain, thanks for sharing us how to make one, hope to learn more from you, God bless❤

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Excellent presentation! Im making a duvet cover now w a big India wall hanging (Yin&Yang) and a piece of heavy flannel I had for wh I could never find a use. Was looking for a way to close it up here. Fabrics were big enough, just had to piece the flannel. Center seam was ok as it was the back (more snuggly). Folded the flannel and surged it together. Easy, quick, and fun. Today i sew front ti bacj, adf closures and loops for tying and im ready when a cooler night comes along. YAY, ME!

[@onemoredaytowait]

That’s pretty ! I think it makes sense when you are making it for longer bed like king, that is harder to buy cheap

[@alixanderiashay4049]

Thank you for a perfect video explaining how to make this. I love your fabric choices.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Thank you so much!😊

[@bettyfertig6515]

You can buy pretty good quality sheet at a thrift store to make a duvet cover out of sheets

[@margaretspurlock3038]

I have a king size bed and I get king size sheets plain and with a pattern and I make my own Duvet cover it's much cheaper than buying one

[@ob5316]

That's what I was thinking about

Much easier!

[@maidinulster]

You know you’ve got quality right there, can’t buy that in the shops ❤

[@simpsondonna]

You make this look so easy!!

[@debeearchilla9309]

Two sheets sewn together will do the job as well also much less expensive

[@newbeequilter]

+ DeBee Archilla - At 0:20 she did mention sheeting fabric as an option as well as decor fabric and quilting weight cottons. I've also been able to find very inexpensive decor fabric in the clearance area of some fabric stores. Some thread counts of sheets can be QUITE expensive, but yes, they can also be inexpensive or if one doesn't normally use flat sheets they become free if you've purchased a sheet set(s) just for the bottom fitted sheet and pillow cases.

[@ms.sweeteae3899]

Thank you, never thought about two sheets. I also use curtains for couch pillows and shower curtains for window treatments when I find a great deal.

[@BoobooOreo]

That's a great idea thank you! Specially if you have lots of flat sheets that you no longer use..It can be mix and match :)

[@BoobooOreo]

@@ms.sweeteae3899 Same here with the shower curtain. Sometime I also make pillow shams out of it, with a good quality fabric shower curtains

[@irieprendygal]

It's great except if you have a special material you want to use which happens to be my case.

[@sagisli]

This was great, I don't really sew but I have to take in a duvet cover that's too big for my comforter. It has a button closure that I'll cut off and use the snap tape after I shorten it. Thanks so much for this video.

[@ms.sweeteae3899]

I love to sew, but these days fabric is so high people like me on a budget would rather go to the store and buy a duvet on discount.

[@ladydede88]

Ms.sweetea E yeah I love to sew too but it cost more then to buy

[@KtGirl-oq2ci]

I buy all my fabric from thrifting. You got to Upcycle if you make clothing or drapery to save money. I buy buttons zippers and tons of luxury fabric from thrift.

[@tracybrewer8237]

Thanks for this great video.... Easy to follow you as well.......

[@maryjoboyle606]

Good video with clear instructions, and I especially like that you used French seams. But, I was really surprised and disappointed that you suggested using safety pins to secure the comforter inside the duvet, instead of showing how to include ties in the corners; it would be so simple to do and so much better when you're going to the trouble to make a custom duvet cover. Many comforters these days (especially down comforters) alreaady have loops at each corner for that very purpose and if you're using safety pins you're putting holes in the comforter where down or other filling can come out.

[@Toofastfourluv]

I took 60w fabric and cut along fold then used three of those halves to make top of duvet. That Left one strip for either fold over pillow or shams The lightest weight for reverse side

[@Autsom57]

Thank you! Video well done and easy to understand. Looks easy and will try it soon. Great job!

[@pringlescookies5145]

Thank you

[@maggieweber5879]

Thanks for the simple tutorial! If I wanted to add ties to the corners to secure the duvet instead of using a pin, they would be added at the first French seam step, correct? Long end sandwiched inward with a short little edge sticking out while the correct fabric sides are facing outward? Then the short edge of tie would be encased along with the raw fabric edges at the next inside-out step? Hope I’m explaining clearly. Thanks for the help!

[@onlinefabricstore]

Yes, that's correct!

[@miraclethankgod9989]

This is called a clean job 👍 💪 could you help to describe how to measure ,cut and sew a fitted bedsheets pls

[@Divergentdesignz]

Can I use regular cotton ?

[@donnas8824]

Are the front and back of the duvet the same size? It seems that one side should be bigger to allow for the bulky comforter. Great video!

[@onlinefabricstore]

They're the same size, but we have already accounted to the fluffy comforter so you should be all set!

[@sumbulhalim1396]

can I use velcro tape for closing

[@ootees2080]

Great video but I used safety pins for the corners before and my comforter got ripped and down was coming out. I had to patch it w iron on fabric. Don't put holes on your down comforter, no matter how small.

[@foziashaikh6976]

Very nice 👍

[@jeckellhobbs5017]

I'm NOT poking any holes in my duvet. The duvet cover I bought has a lil loop on each corner an cotton/elastic ties. This works great for me. But thanks for the tips. God bless

[@tianamarie989]

Ok, no need to get angry about it.

[@MarsunAlvarez]

Nice video my friend.. love this

[@Toofastfourluv]

I would serge or zigzag those seams to prevent ravelling and add straps of elastic on corners to hold comforter in place and not rust The snaps are nifty way to enclose

[@onlinefabricstore]

The seams are all French seams so they won't fray, but you could do regular seams and serge or zigzag stitch the raw edges if you prefer!

[@bonniegirl5138]

Would like to see video with the elastic. How and where exactly would the elastic be added to stabilize duvet?

[@Toofastfourluv]

@@bonniegirl5138 Well The inside of a duvet cover usually has strings on the inside corners and my goose feather cover has a ribbon sewn down on corners for strings to be tied to. This video was a minute ago for me Idk

[@urbanskargren9310]

Thank you. Do I need the duvet or can I use only two sheets of fabric or even only one? Will it wrinkle and look terrible?

[@onlinefabricstore]

You don't need to add a duvet. Whether it wrinkles a lot depends on the fabric and how it is dried.

[@urbanskargren9310]

Thanks!!

[@urbanskargren9310]

BTW, can it be any fabric type? Any recommendations?

Do you have a duvet cover video that shows how to add cute little ties all around the top edge to close it

[@lindal4804]

Using 2 queen size flat sheets do you think it’s possible to make a duvet ?

[@onlinefabricstore]

You could, just keep in mind it might be a little smaller than a standard queen duvet. Best of luck though!

[@brookewitham2978]

Hi Will this work for a comforter that is 4 inches thick?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Yes! Just add another 2 inches to the width and length.

Fabric still available at Online Fabric Store?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Unfortunately, this fabric is discontinued. Sorry :(

[@zaizai9258]

Hello, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this comment but I really want to know how do we prewash the fabric in the beginning? Do we just stick the roll of fabric into the washing machine? Is that it?

[@jamunamadhava3214]

After cutting 17. 5 did you stitch again I got lost there

[@onlinefabricstore]

After cutting the 17.5" (or whatever the amount is to get the correct width for your duvet), I just double checked the height and cut off any extra. Then the next thing is the snap tape, so no sewing between the 17.5" and snap tape.

[@octaviajames9217]

I saw on other videos where they didn't have to add extra for length. Please explain. Did you have to do this because of the pattern of material or because the material is shorter length or both? For plain long solid color material, would you just cut to size of comforter and add your 2+3 for length and width?

[@octaviajames9217]

Meant extra side panels

[@none5185]

Can you show us how to put Velcro tabs on the end of the duvet in the opening? How far down from the opening, how wide of tabs, how many, how many inches between each one?

[@onlinefabricstore]

There's not a right or wrong way to do the Velcro. I would probably do one continuous strip just like the snap tape because that's the easiest way to do it. If I were to do Velcro tabs, I'd probably make them about 2" to 4" wide with 4" to 6" gaps in between. Fold the bottom edges of the cover in 1" twice just like in the video before sewing the Velcro on.

[@oscarvasquez9181]

😍😍😍 thank you

[@onlinefabricstore]

You're welcome :)

[@mariellerubeor261]

So... Was the bonding tape used to attach the side panels to the center panel? Sorry, just confused.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Hi Marielle, The bonding tape is used to more accurately match up the pattern. They are sewn together after the pattern is matched up. But you could just use the bonding tape here, or you don't have to use it, especially for solid fabrics. If you don't use it, we suggest finishing the raw edge in some way, like a serger or a zig zag stitch, or you can do a French seam like how the front and back pieces are sewn together.

How many yards do I need

[@marygreen8238]

I have a question about the size of the bed I have a queen size bed but I have to use a California king size sheets cos my bed is a sleigh bed

[@onlinefabricstore]

Hi Mary, we have some more information about bed sizes in our written version of this tutorial: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-a-duvet-comforter-cover/

[@soccerpup111]

how much total yards should i get to make a twin xl size?

[@onlinefabricstore]

It depend on the size of the duvet (most twin size duvets fit fine on twin xl beds) and the width of the fabric. See this page, which has directions on how to figure out how many yards you need: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-a-duvet-comforter-cover/

[@samantham3817]

Does anyone know if I can create a duvet with a sheet (microfiber/polyester blend) I never use and a blanket (soft polyester)? I want the sheet to be close to me and the blanket to be on the top. Would sewing these two fabrics together be possible?

[@tianamarie989]

Yep. Right sides together, pin, sew(making sure to leave an opening to turn it on one end), turn out. Since it's polyester, be careful with ironing.

how long did this take you to make ?

[@onlinefabricstore]

LOL, quite some time. But it would probably take a few hours (between two and three) to make.

[@michelemitchell8035]

What i do to keep my doona from moving in the cover is i sew cotton tape about 15cm in each corner and half way on each side giving you eight points of conection doing the same to my doona as well. I lay my cover on my bed inside out tie the doona to the cover with a bow then i roll it as i go making sure one side of the cover is left out then all you do is turn right side out and unroll snap bottom together and you done.

[@ninaabae5485]

is this for a queen bed and how many yards your used ?

[@onlinefabricstore]

This was for a full bed, but the number of yards would probably be the same for a queen. I used just over 5 yards for each side (54" wide fabric). You may be fine with 5 yards each if your fabric is solid or has a smaller vertical repeat. We have a bit more info about sizing in our written instructions: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-a-duvet-comforter-cover/

[@nicolesvensson663]

Hi there if your inner measurements were in cm or king bed 210cm wide by 245cm long and your saying add the extra 2” for width and 3” for length how would I work that out would I just Measure the extra with inches not very knowledgeable with the kind of thing

[@nicolesvensson663]

Oh I think maybe it would be 7.5cm for length and 4.5 cm extra for width ?

[@Blendingwithlolo]

Is it a must to wash before sewing? Why??

[@onlinefabricstore]

I would recommend it if you are going to wash the cover at all in the future. It could shrink after the fact if you do not.

[@theontiveroskids2859]

What sewing machine do you use?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Hi Leslie, We use a Brother Designio DZ2750. I don't think that exact model is made anymore, but we've been happy with Brother.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Yes, that would work!

[@Gothgirl1990]

So a duvet cover is a big pillow case for a comforter?

[@onlinefabricstore]

That's right!

[@bonniegirl5138]

The duvet cover is to keep the duvet clean. Cleaning a duvet is expensive and can easily lead to damaging the interior feathers. So the duvet cover can be removed, laundered and then put back over the duvet to protect it again.

[@marisolgarcia2122]

Cuales son las medidas de un duvet cover para una cama full? Gracias.

[@onlinefabricstore]

The duvet cover in this video was made for a full bed, but there isn't a standard duvet size for full beds. It's best to measure your own duvet insert and add 2 inches to the width and 3 inches to the length. You can see the dimensions I used here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-a-duvet-comforter-cover/

Too fast to follow for a beginner. Why do you need the snaps? Would like you to do a longer video a little bit slower and explain why you are doing specific things.
