Duvet cover sets are a popular choice for bedding, offering a stylish and easy way to update the look of your bedroom. If you enjoy sewing and want to create your own duvet cover set, model 19 is a great option to try. This model features a classic design with a button closure, making it a versatile and timeless choice for any bedroom decor.
To begin sewing your duvet cover set using model 19, you will need the following materials:
– Fabric for the duvet cover: You can choose any fabric you like, but a soft and durable material such as cotton or linen is recommended for the best results.
– Fabric for the pillow shams: This should match or coordinate with the duvet cover fabric.
– Buttons: You will need several buttons for the closure of the duvet cover.
– Sewing machine and basic sewing supplies: This includes thread, scissors, pins, and a measuring tape.
Once you have gathered your materials, follow these steps to sew your duvet cover set using model 19:
1. Measure and cut your fabric: Start by measuring your duvet insert to determine the size of your duvet cover. Add seam allowances to the measurements (usually around 1 inch) and cut two pieces of fabric to the desired size for the front and back of the duvet cover. Cut two additional pieces of fabric for the pillow shams, making them slightly larger than your pillow inserts to allow for seam allowances.
2. Sew the pillow shams: Fold over and hem one of the shorter edges of each pillow sham piece. Place the front and back pieces of the pillow sham right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving one side open. Turn the pillow sham right side out and press the seams. Repeat for the second pillow sham.
3. Sew the duvet cover: Place the front and back pieces of the duvet cover right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving one side open for the duvet insert. Hem the open edge of the duvet cover and attach buttons along one side for closure.
4. Attach the pillow shams: Place the pillow shams on top of the duvet cover, aligning them with the top edge. Sew along the top edge to attach the pillow shams to the duvet cover.
5. Finish the duvet cover set: Press all seams and trim any loose threads. Insert your duvet and pillows into the cover and button up the closure.
Once you have completed these steps, you will have a beautiful duvet cover set using model 19 that you can proudly display in your bedroom. This classic design is sure to add a touch of elegance and style to any decor. Experiment with different fabrics and button styles to create a unique look that suits your personal taste. Happy sewing!
