Do you suffer from fabric addiction?
If yes, than you probably have a scrap pile that mimics Everest. Or is this just me?


I decided to put an end to the madness and use up quite a bit of that ol' scrap pile on these duvet covers.
.
 I used snaps at the end on the first one ---
and satin ribbons on the other.


I like the mismatched feel to the first one. (It was on purpose.)




Some of these pieces are re purposed clothes.








 Snaps keep the blanket inside the cover.





A duvet  from the French duvet [dyˈvɛ] "down"), is a type of bedding — a soft flat bag traditionally filled with down or feathers, or a combination of both, and used on a bed as a blanket...

Don't laugh, I didn't know what "duvet" REALLY meant until living here in Europe.
I knew it was like a bedspread, but what exactly....I wasn't sure. I know, how uncultured of me.















Do I see Mickey Mouse?






Oh, I see-- it's my chickens.



































What will you make with your scrap bits?
Or "remnants" I suppose is a better word, much more civilized sounding.       :o)

  1. I love your duvet covers! It's just that 'mis-match' that makes them so irresistable!
    I wouldn't mind at all to have a look in your closet with remnants.. Many lovely colors and prints there!
