A couple of weeks ago I sewed together some pink fabric and made four pillow cases! This weekend it was time to make the matching shabby chic duvet covers.
I used second hand bed fabric as material, so the whole project was about 65 SEK (about 9 dollars) for two duvet covers. The material was a finished duvet cover with pink and white stripes that I un-stitched all around. I matched each side with a old fashioned sheet with lace on the top, that I folded to show the lace like they used to in old times. I’m pleased with the result.
I ‘m not sure that the pink stripes are not “to much”, but I like the white sheet very much, and now it won’t move away like it would if I had just folded it around a quilt. Maybe I will add buttons later?
Here you get the big picture. And I’m not at all tired of the bed post fabric that we put up a year ago! I love my pink jungle!
Good night, sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite!
Absolutely fabulous! Wish I could find the white lace fabric without having to pay a bomb.
Those are so perfect, Hanna–they are very Shabby Chic :)
That is so very very nice!
Very shabby chic! I love the pink and the headboard is beautiful.
Wonderful job! i just love all the combinations!

Actually the website listed is my husbands, but he’s far more talented than I!! I’m his sherpa and childherder. I love your creativeness. It inspires me!! I have a secret job of shaking down the second hand stores. They see me coming and give up the goodies when I walk through the door. I love LOVE recycling, and I love what you have done with your duvet covers. Makes my heart warm to see old things get new love. I stumbled across your blog and I feel that I am a LUCKY girl. Thanks for the good karma. xo CHER, slave to yarn and fabric
