Tutorial: Buttonhole tabs to keep a duvet in place

Kathy from Just Crafty Enough shows how she solved the problem of the creeping duvet – you know, where the duvet won’t stay spread out the way it’s supposed to be inside the cover – with the help of some buttons and buttonholes. She added button tabs at the sides of the duvet cover and buttons on the duvet itself. Now she can button it in place so it stays put. The tabs are hidden inside the cover and are stitched to the seam allowance so they won’t show from the outside. Go to Just Crafty Enough for a tute.
