Duvet covers are so expensive! I just bought two beautiful curtain panels to use as the top of my king size duvet...it looks very expensive, but it only cost $60 since i used an old flat sheet as the backing!

I just made my first duvet using your tute as a springboard. I wasn't able to use your french seams (Although the NEXT one I totally will, it makes it look so much more sophisticated!), and added in bits of ribbon on the inside to tie the comforter in place. THANK YOU (and thanks to Google, who directed me to your post). I used King-sized sheets to cover my queen sized duvet, and it just needed a bit of trimming to be perfect :) Check it out when you get a chance: http://thecraftedcure.blogspot.com/2012/01/life-lessons-when-your-teacher-is-duvet.html :) This is such a great tutorial!

It'll actually be my very 1st "sewing machine" project hehe. I got 3 or 4 fitted sheets in different colors and patterns, same with the pillowcases, and they all match the basic colors of my 10yo boy's room: grey, black, white and red. He loves those colors and you can really play around with the decoration, changing often with simple accents, maybe a theme on pillows or posters, and he is all proud of his "big boy" room. Hehe. Thanks for the tutorial, it has encouraged me to start! :) I’m doing almost the same for my son – the color and fabric I wanted, costs about $5 a yard, so I found some cheap ($5!) sheets at walmart, already on a twin size, I got I colors and I’ll sew them together tonight.

Or do you fold in the hem ? When you attach the snaps at the bottom, will they show through to the top of the comforter. Or do you fold in the hem ?
