Sewing pattern: Sew a duvet cover from flat sheets

January 16, 2019 by Anne Weaver

Sewing tutorial: Sew a duvet cover from flat sheetsWhat do you do when you can’t find the perfect duvet cover to finish off your bedroom?  If you have basic sewing skills, you can make your own!  Emily from Life Sew Savory shows how you can make a duvet cover from two flat sheets.  She used two twin sheets to make duvet for her daughter’s twin bed, but you can use any size sheet to make any size duvet cover.

When it comes to duvet cover sizes, it’s important to ensure you’re using the right sheets for the right bed size. Here are the standard duvet cover sizes to keep in mind:

  • Twin Size: 68″ x 86″ (168 x 218 cm)

  • Full/Double Size: 78″ x 86″ (198 x 218 cm)

  • Queen Size: 88″ x 88″ (224 x 224 cm)

  • King Size: 104″ x 88″ (264 x 224 cm)

By following these measurements, you can create a duvet cover that fits your bed perfectly, ensuring both comfort and a polished look. Whether you’re working with twin, queen, or king sheets, this guide gives you the flexibility to craft a duvet cover that meets your needs and design preferences.

We hope this project inspires you to explore more DIY bedding ideas. Don’t forget to experiment with fabric choices and embellishments to personalize your duvet cover even further! Happy sewing, and enjoy the cozy, custom look you’ve created for your space.
