    Default Help Finding Duvet Cover that looks like this one

    I'm in love with the Honey color of the "Loft Home" collection at The Company Store - I love the yellow and grey - I think it would be perfect for my bedroom.

    You can see it here - http://www.thecompanystore.com/paren...&An=102&A=423#

    Unfortunately, they don't offer a duvet *cover* - just a duvet. And we have a feather comforter and just use duvet covers. Has anyone seen something similar to this in a duvet cover before?

    Thanks!

    Could you buy a couple of flat sheets and make one? Or have a seamstress do it for you?

    I am thinking now
    of grief, and of getting past it;
    I feel my boots
    trying to leave the ground,
    I feel my heart
    pumping hard. I want
    to think again of dangerous and noble things.
    I want to be light and frolicsome.
    I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
    as though I had wings.

    I've made duvet covers out of sheets...it's super easy! Two flat sheets, sew up 3 sides, turn it right side out and stuff in your comforter. You can use buttons, or in the past, I've used velcro to close up the end.

    I know it sounds silly, but the phrase "sew some seams and add buttons" strikes fear into my heart! I took a sewing class in high school - I serged my finger. Took out a chunk - had to have stitches. Still have the scar!

    If you can't glue it or staple gun it, it's not a craft for me.

    i've made them myself from flat sheets before as well, and that probably is your best bet. you can find local seamstresses on craigslist very easily around here, as well as on ebay. i was on partial bedrest with DS2 and just couldn't fit in sewing his bedding set, so i hired out on ebay. i had company store sheets mailed directly to the 'seller' (you basically do a 'buy now' for the agreed upon job/price for the pieces you need) and then she shipped the finished product to me. try entering "custom duvet" or "custom bedding" into ebay and you'll get plenty of hits. you might want to order king sized sheets to give you some extra for a fold over flap at the bottom, enough scrap for a valance, etc.

    Well, it turns out that while DH really likes the colour scheme, he's not in love with the pattern, so now I'm at loose ends. I've checked all the 'usual' suspects, but does anyone have any thoughts on where to find a yellow and grey duvet cover? This is definitely the colour scheme we'll use for the room, but apparently not in this pattern.
