I'm a top sheet person, bottom, top & comforter.
I find it easier to wash a set of sheets vs washing and hassling with a duvet cover that often.
It’s lovely! I’d like to suggest sewing ties in the corners, and to the corners of the duvet to keep everything secure in there. If you’re ever inspired to show how to turn a flat sheet into a fitted sheet, I’d be really interested in that video.
Thank you!
Great up cycle idea. Using just a duvet and bottom sheet is quite common in Europe so you are not alone. I hate having to put on the duvet cover so I prefer to use a top sheet-but I’m sure many people will benefit from this idea. 😊
If you are used to it and know how, it's not hard.
Just slip into the inside out sheets with your arms, reaching the two outer corners with your hands.
Now grab the two narrow corners of the duvet/blanket with those hands and lift the whole thing up. The cover will fall down around the blanket.
Just adjust the corners a little bit and you're good to go.
😊
Greetings from Europe.
I don't use a top sheet either, Christina. When my daughter got her first double bed she wanted a black doona cover, we couldn't find one, so her father sewed her one using two flat sheets, instead of buttons he used velcro. It turned out really good!!
I’ve made duvet covers this way too and used the extra fabric trimmed to make both sheets the same size into ribbons for securing the duvet corners, or for securing the bottom opening in a less formal look. it’s also great extra material for making soft cord for the waist of drawstring pants etc. Nice work!
As an old and getting rather infirm person I prefer my top sheet over removing and inserting duvet covers, it's just too awkward and tiring to bother with, but I like that you were able to make good use of yours.
Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow and it's always good to know how to do useful things.
I made extra pillow cases out of spare flat sheets since we have four pillows on our bed, and using the extra wide hem at the open ends saved time and made them look professional.
I do french seams too - hate frayed edges! Thanks for the how-to! 😊👍
Put ribbons in the interior corners too. That way you can tie the duvet to the comforter corners so it won’t shift 👍
I love this idea so much and it will def help me making my bed daily as the pieces are attached to each other, rather than fiddling with all the separate pieces! Thanks for the inspiration
You are soo talented!
Great idea! I'm going to give this a try. Have grandkids who don't like top sheets, they always end up at the bottom of the bed. I know they would like this so much better!! ❤
Same here but my kids... so I know the feeling lol
Great job, but way too much weekly work for me. I hate when I have to wash my duvet covers as it is never mind weekly. Lol washing a set of sheets every week is much better for me. Love your channel.
I’m so happy to hear that you don’t like top sheets. I used to use mine for drop sheets but now, seeing this beautiful make over , I’m in!! No more drop sheets!
Thank you ❤
I don’t use a top sheet either. This is brilliant! Love those sheets too.
I always use a top sheet. I experimented with Duvets but found it too much trouble getting the insert in properly. Good idea though
Couldn't you roll up the insert burrito style and then place inside the cover? It "should" unroll - maybe with a little prompting - would that work? You might find a RUclips vid on a better way.
Good Luck!
I have a comforter with a beautiful plaid on one side, and pesky Sherpa on the other. I’m gonna make a duvet cover out of the plaid side and a top sheet. Now I’ll have an all year duvet and no matting! Thank you so much
You can also create the outlet/passage with press buttons or also by letting open only a third of the sidelegth. That's the easiest and how for example Ikea does it.
Great idea!! Just would be getting my sheets elsewhere because I won't shop at Target!!!
Wow I definitely love this idea great for theThe kids that don't like the sheets Thank you so much for your ideas love it ❤
I only use duvet covers too, hate flat sheets! This is a great idea. 👍
Oh snap, you got the ThreadBanger machine
That turned out beautifully!!!! Great idea!
Thanks so much! 😊
Muy cómodo!

Found you through your stencil painted floor tiles.
Hooked since then.
☺️
Nice bed
Looking forward to making a duvet. We have two dogs that sleep with us so I wash everything every week. And in the winter I have to was the comforter too. 😅
Love it. It turned out so nice. 😊🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing this, Christina. Great idea❤
I love it! It is such a 😢trick! As always, Christina, thank you for sharing! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
Thanks so much! ❤
@@thediymommy You are so very welcome❤️
Awesome idea thanks for this tutorial!!
Love it!
Love it..😊
Love this!!!
Brilliant idea!
I just learned you were in Canada. So am I. I live in Nova Scotia
I have been doing this for years only I bought two flat sheets. It is not as easy to buy only flat sheets now. Just a suggestion, I use a pin at both ends of the button hole so I don't slip and cut the buttonhole to large.
I just LOVE your videos!!! 🥰
Yay! Thank you!
The best DIY video from your channel! I do not like flat sheets and they are taking space. Can I have a link for the sheet set? I can’t find it.
Thanks so much! Here's the blog post with the written instruction + sheet set: thediymommy.com/?p=27236
How do you stop the duvet from moving around inside the sheet? My pet peeve! I never use them cuz of that reason alone
Turn the duvet cover inside out and sew a skinny ribbon in all four corners, and do the same with the insert and tie together. Or, for the easy way, use safety pins in the corners of the duvet cover and pin to the duvet.
Use two different flat/top sheet sheets a size larger than bed😀
Where is the fluffy duvet from??
Where did you get your duvet insert? Ours is a king size duvet, but only covers the top of our bed, it doesn't even go out to the edges 😅 so we play tug if war all night. I've been looking for an oversized insert.
Where is your Duvet Insert from? Will you link it?
Simple?
"Useless" top sheets?? Naah. Not in our house! We use bottom sheet, top sheet, quilt, and in the winter we add a blanket.
Sometimes, in the summer, we just sleep with the sheets, even with air conditioning. Duvets are too hot then, for my husband and myself. Our daughters love their comforters, though. I personally prefer to sleep on the cooler side. I can always add a throw if I need to. Sometimes, a light quilt and top sheet are enough on a spring night when the windows are open.😊
I've never understood why duvet covers are SO expensive!!!!!
Please tell me where you find a duvet!
Have I found my community? The flat sheet is stupid. It's just an extra unnecessary layer to get wrapped up in while I sleep. But why would I not want two luxurious duvets to make my bed look and feel luxurious. 😂
😆🙃😆🙃😁 the whole point of the top sheet is to not need a duvet cover…
Or you can give the flat sheet to me and I'll use them in a quilt back :D
If you have to purchase two flat sheets to make a duvet cover, why not just buy a duvet cover? I no longer use flat sheets either, but I have one I love that I want to turn into a duvet cover.
What if you dont have a sewing machine 😅
Rediculous, you can by fitted sheet and pillow case combination, you don't have to buy sheet set. Save the money and get what you need. If you have top sheets you are not using and want to make a cover go for your life, but the result is not as good as purpose made, l prefer designs on my cover.
Love it!
