Holiday sheets are on sale! Why not amke a quick and easy and fun Duvet to keep you warm or a friend warm this deep cold winter?
Duvets are expensive but with these holiday and seasonal sheets on sale it becomes cheap to amake and wonderful to give and get.

The duvet that I am making is made from Goodwill sheet sets. They were on sale for 1.50 a full size flat sheet. So I got 2 that work well together. Then I bought some inexpensive Cluster fill at Walmart.
I prefer Soft Touch Polyfill as its acts more like Down and is better at washing.
But this did not cost that much and I will post the picture when I am done.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Two flat or top sheets of the same size.
  • Thread
  • at least 5 bags of Soft Touch Polyfill(or 4 of cluster type fill or old pillows)
  • Scissors
  • Pins
  • Sewing machine
  • Two hours

    When you stitch the top sew two extra rows at the top to lock on the fluff.

Tips & Warnings
  • Buy sheets that are of good quality at GoodWill, Amvets or thrift stores.
  • You can use Old pillows to recycle when you buy new pillows to reduce cost of buying polyfill
  • Add Tassles to teh corners to add glitz.
  • Use contrasting thread or decorative stitches to your top stitching
  • Make sure what ever you fil with it's washable!
