How to Sew a Duvet Cover

This is a great, inexpensive way to create your own duvet cover for a down comforter. This is especially great for people on a budget, such as college students, who would like to create a cover that suits their own style.

Things You'll Need

• Bed Sheets
• Sewing Machine
• Down comforter
• Velcro or zipper

Instructions

1. Acquire two sets of sheets the same size as the down comforter. Turn the sheets with the good sides (the non-faded sides) facing each other.

2. Set one sheet on top of the other with the faded sides out. Sew three sides of the sheets together.

3. Turn the cover inside out, so that the "good" sides are now on the outside. At this point, you may also sew a zipper on the open side or sew velcro onto it to close the cover once the comforter is inside.

4. Put the down comforter in the cover and close it.

Tips & Warnings

• If you pick two sheets of different design and colors, you can flip it every once in a while to mix it up.
