under the duvet

 camilla posed a question, 

"where is your favourite spot in this big wide world?"

for a chance to win some of her beautiful yarn,

i responded:  "under the duvet"

though i've been fortunate enough to have seen many beautiful parts of this world,
i can't think of a place i love more than being home,
snug, warm and comfortable, with a good book, or my knitting needles, 
under the the duvet.

so..... (wait for the segue)

last week,
i found two mismatched flat sheets,
a worn rectangular table cloth (with some easily mendable tears)
and a piece of silk in the dollar fabric bin at the thrift shop.

i don't know about everyone else... but to me,
they were actually a perfect match.
all four pieces had this gorgeous wine colour.

immediately after arriving home
they were thrown into the wash,
and as soon as they were dry...
i pieced them together to make a duvet cover and some pillow cases.

step 1:  centre and pin and sew the table cloth on one of the flat sheets

step 2:  with both their top sides facing, sew three sides of the two flat sheets together 

step 3:  turn inside out and insert duvet into cover

step 4:  enjoy

this was such a fast, fun, and easy project...

special thanks to my sister for handing-me-down her singer.

it runs great...
