Duvet covers are a great way to protect your comforter while also adding style to your bedroom. Making your own duvet cover set can be a fun and rewarding sewing project. In this article, we will discuss sewing model 16, a popular duvet cover set sewing pattern.

Model 16 is a classic duvet cover set that features a simple yet elegant design. It typically includes a duvet cover and two matching pillow shams. The duvet cover has a button closure along one side, making it easy to remove and wash when needed. The pillow shams have a flap closure on the back, allowing you to easily insert and remove your pillows.

To make a duvet cover set using model 16, you will need the following materials:

– Fabric for the duvet cover and pillow shams
– Matching thread
– Buttons for the duvet cover closure
– Sewing machine
– Scissors
– Pins
– Iron

To start, you will need to measure your comforter to determine the size of your duvet cover. Add a few inches to each side for seam allowance and ease of inserting the comforter. Cut your fabric to the appropriate size for the duvet cover and pillow shams.

Next, you will need to hem the edges of the fabric. Fold over the edges of the duvet cover and pillow shams about half an inch and press with an iron. Then fold over again and press, creating a clean and finished edge. Pin in place and sew along the edge to secure the hem.

Once the edges are hemmed, you can start assembling the duvet cover and pillow shams. Lay the duvet cover fabric right side up and place the pillow shams on top, right side down. Pin in place along the sides and bottom edge. Sew along the sides and bottom, leaving the top open for the duvet cover closure.

For the duvet cover closure, you will need to add buttonholes and buttons along one side of the duvet cover. Mark the placement of the buttonholes evenly along the edge and sew them using your sewing machine. Sew buttons on the opposite side to correspond with the buttonholes.

Finally, turn the duvet cover and pillow shams right side out and press with an iron to smooth out any wrinkles. Insert your comforter into the duvet cover and place your pillows into the pillow shams. Your duvet cover set is now ready to use and enjoy!
