You guys will be happy to know you won't hear me whining about sewing these two duvet covers anymore.
I'm very happy with how both of the covers turned out, and Thing 1 and Thing 2 just love them (it's a good thing too). They are so bright and cheerful in their room. Best of all, these things are OUT of my craft room. Yesss. Huge weight off my Towering Guilt Pile of Unfinished Projects.
I also sewed up a ruffled pillow sham (the subject of a tutorial coming soon) and the other pillow sham was purchased and then festooned with handmade yo yos.
On a whim I also sewed a couple of quick swiss dot pillow cases to go with the new stuff. I also would like to make a couple of cute accent pillows as finishing touches, but I haven't worked around to that yet. It's on the list.
These are fantastic blankets!!! I have two girls and these would fit perfectly into their room :) Your kids are lucky to have such a mum!
ReplyDeletethey look amazing! The whole room is beautiful - well done you. and a high five for getting them out of your sewing room :-}
ReplyDeleteThey turned out amazing and those pillowcases are such a unique touch. Your daughters must have been thrilled!
ReplyDeleteWow, I mean, WOW. I had not pictured the zig-zags or the dots to be so big! I just love them. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these!?! Love the new look and the pillows are a perfect finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteperfect they ad enough color for the little ones and still have that vintage look
ReplyDeleteWow!! Wonderful! What a happy room that any child would love! I KNEW they'd be worth the wait to see 'em. :) I hope you find them worth all your efforts!
ReplyDeleteNow would you make a set of the duvet covers for me... or at least the circles one? ;)))
They turned out great!!! Love the pillows too! Congrats on relieving some guilt...I mean finishing a big project. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're wonderful (and the room looks delightful!) - I particularly love the circles and you've inspired me to look at the plain white covers in M&S in a whole new light!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Well worth the wait I'd say. I love the girls' room. Lovely decorating job with those beautiful beds and the pretty wall colour. The duvet covers and pillows are the crowning touch!
ReplyDeletefabulous job ! this bedroom is so bright & cheerful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Love both the covers and what a nice room with the colors. Just love it.
ReplyDeleteTurned out fabulously! Love the bright colors framed with all of that clean white. Congrats on finishing such a big project!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so nice. I do like them, but I have to admit I came to the point where I really didn't care if the whole thing was a huge design mistake or not. Their room is small and the pattern scale is pretty large. I just wanted to get it done. So it is nice that I actually do like them!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! great job!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those are amazing! I love the colors and they are just so bright and fun! I wish they were in MY bedroom! ;-)
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Maybe Matilda
They're BEAUTIFUL! (How could the girls not like them?!?) They make the room so light and airy and just plain fun to be in! Hoping to see them in person someday soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love them both and the pillow case really completes the picture. You have a great eye for color!
ReplyDeleteLovely! The white is so fresh and the bright colors and shapes so cheery. The pillow shams are fantastic, too, and I am excited for the ruffled sham tute. :D
ReplyDeleteHow pretty - bet the girls feel like queens!
ReplyDeleteThey look absolutely terrific. What a cheery room. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI literally gasped when I saw these! I love them with a captial LURRRRV!!
ReplyDeletesuper cute! your kids are very lucky to have them-no matter when you finished them! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous and go so well together!!
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful!!!! And well worth the effort too :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and class went well the other day. It's a good group of kids - 12 total!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like the Fallen books, but let me know what you think after reading. I need to get 'thud' or 'going postal' soon. I try to be responsible, but it is hard to put the books down!
Very pretty - love these!
ReplyDelete*gasp* I'm in love! I wish I could bring one of these into my master bedroom, they're so bright and beautiful! Congrats and finishing this awesome project, I have an ever growing guilt pile too :/
ReplyDeletelove, love , LOVE! so so cute...any of my three girls would love those!
ReplyDeleteThey just light up the room! Beautiful work and something they can save for their kids, too!
ReplyDeleteits fantastic covers!!!!!! and all in room is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so pretty and fresh, your girls are so lucky :-)
ReplyDeleteQué bonitos!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous makeover! I love the color scheme. The only problem now is that if your kids ever get in trouble and you send them to their room, they will secretly think, "YES!" lol
ReplyDeleteJust great! So pretty! How do you get them to keep their room so clean?
ReplyDeleteLove them! So colorful.
ReplyDeleteLove them, Larissa. So bright and cheery. Looking at those beds, I was reminded of my boy curled up asleep with your girl - was that last year? So sweet.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!!! I will have to use your notes and make some for my daughters who want to decorate their room!
ReplyDeleteY'all are so nice. Thanks! I'm glad I could inspire. A basic duvet cover is pretty easy to make with ready-made sheets. And I guess even the zig zag patchwork would not be bad if you did it the right way instead of the hard way like I did. Also the 9 month duvet break is optional.
ReplyDeleteRobyn, yes, I remember that sweet photo. That my best friend took with a flash in the middle of a dark room full of sleeping children. :-)
These are absolutely beautiful! LOVE the colors, patterns - everything.
ReplyDeleteOh, good grief. Must we dwell? Besides, I didn't take the photo. Laura did. My hands remain clean.
ReplyDeleteBob, oh. I didn't remember that part. Well if you can't falsely blame your best friend, who can you falsely blame, really?
ReplyDeleteOh, Larissa, I LOVE them!!!!!
ReplyDeletemany many hugs from Brazil!
These are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLarissa - Those turned out AMAZING! I'm thinking about sewing up a duvet for my bedroom . . . you're getting my wheels turning. :) The pillows are a great touch.
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic! Great work!
ReplyDeleteWOW. These are really cute duvet covers. Really cool for kids. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask for the measurements for those triangles? I'd love to make a quilt like this!
ReplyDeleteSamantha, hi! I used a standard twin size, 64 x 86 inches. The squares are 10 x 10 inches, finished. There's six squares across and eight down, so you'll have to add edge fabric around to make it twin sized. I'm no expert, but that is what I did.
ReplyDeleteI must know - where are the beds from? I love the headboards!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteYour kids duvet covers are really so cute and are perfect for a kid's room. Can you please tell us how can I make them at home or how can I buy them for my kids super king size of duvet.
Thanks in advance!!!
