I've made duvets before, and I used the following technique. It worked so well that I have added it to the duvets I've bought!
Sew a piece of ribbon about 6-8" long to each corner of your comforter. (Your sewing does not need to be good or pretty, no one will ever see it!)
Sew the same length of ribbon on the middle of each side, except for the bottom (You'll have 7 total.)
Turn your duvet cover inside out, and sew ribbons in the same spots to the inside of the cover.
Then, take the top corners of the comforter, line them up with the ribbons on the inside-out cover, and tie in tight bows or knots. Repeat with the other ribbons-they should align.
Turn the cover right side out over the comforter, and smooth out the corners, then fasten the buttons/closure on the bottom, and put in your bed.
The comforter won't move around inside of the cover any more!
When you need to wash the cover, just untie!
Tip: Use a ribbon the same color as the duvet, or use white, so you can't see it through the cover, and so it won't rub color off in the wash. |
