Offray Ribbon's Ellie Schneider shows how to use decorative ribbon to tie together ordinary dishtowels and create a distinctive duvet for a bed.
Materials:
dishtowels (enough to cover the width and length of your bed)
ribbons
one sheet
straight pins
Steps:
- Pin a ribbon to the edges of two dishtowels and stitch together. Create rows of these until you have enough panels to accomodate the width and length of your bed (figure A).
- Pin a ribbon on the edge of each row and stitch together.
- Leave an inch of ribbon on the end and create a point by folding each side at a diagonal and then stitch it closed (figure B).
- Place the dishtowel duvet and sheet right-sides together. Stitch on three sides, turn right-side out and insert duvet. Close the fourth side with buttons, ribbons or snaps, etc.
