Welcome to my blog! This is a place for me to write and share with family, friends and those who stumble upon our story. The most recent story begins in November 2011 with the "July 11th" post. The prequel to this story began back in June 2011 with the "The making of CCA" post.

Sewing: Duvet Adventure

As I looked for just the right bedding set for our master bedroom, I was discouraged to discover I have very expensive taste! In an attempt to get the look I wanted at a price I could afford, I looked up tutorials on pintucking (remember my tree skirt from 2012?) and kept my eyes open for the perfect fabric.

When I found a beautiful dusty blue fabric in the clearance pile for the curtains of the master suite (to accent the dark brown with cream and blue swirls) I bought up all they had, since I had a coupon and got it for next to nothing. After completing all the curtains, would you believe I had just enough left for a duvet cover and a couple of pillows?


It took me quite a while to get them all marked and sewn and then to get the backing sewn on just right, but now that it is done I absolutely love it!



I still haven't figured out a good way to secure it so the comforter doesn't move around, ties, buttons, velcro...so feel free to share your tips and tricks!
