Make Your Own Organic Cotton Duvet Cover

Make your own eco-bedding and save a bundle!

I made a full/queen comforter cover and two standard pillowcases from Harmony Art’s certified organic cotton sateen for $120. That’s $75 less than the ready-made versions found at Coyuchi, a manufacturer of beautiful organic cotton bedding. 

See my step-by-step instructions with photos on next page. Enjoy!

I've made similar duvet covers by buying two top sheets and sewing them together! You can even choose two different types of fabric!
