Vintage cot duvet!

18 Apr 2012





I made a cot bed duvet cover for Archie last night. He is still in sleeping bags at the moment and I figured it was about time he had a proper quilt! He doesn't shuffle around so much now so hopefully I wont be woken in the night by a cold boy with no covers! I couldn't find one I liked so I thought I would have a go at making him one.

I used a vintage duvet cover - I love this pattern and it will go nicely in his new room. It was pretty simple to do as I just made it smaller and used the the poppers that were already there. I will try it out tonight and see if he likes it!

  5. Thank you Sabrina, yes i think he did, didnt seem to think it strange! It was quite cute tucking him under covers instead of zipping him up! X

    Nothing beats new bedding.
