Something Old...Into Something New

A while back I took my old comforter apart and turned it into a duvet cover.  Since then I have made myself a new one, so the old one has just been taking up space in my closet.  Today I decided to turn it into beds for my dogs:~)

I cut the batting in half and folded it into two squares.

Then I cut out two squares from the duvet cover (which I forgot to take a picture of).  I stitched up three of the sides on each, like a pillowcase.  Not only was it a free project but it was super easy! Here is a picture of the finished pillows.  Shelby was kind enough to cooperate with me. Tucker....not so much. Sorry for the wrinkles.  I was not in an ironing mood:~)

A Duvet fit for a King

I finally finished the new duvet for my king size bed.  It was super easy and a super pain in the butt! The thing was so big I had absolutely no place in my house to lay it out.  Some how I managed to make it work and I would do it again because that is how in love with the fabric I am.  Plus it only cost me about $60 and with duvet covers running about $120, thats a bad deal.

So 12 yards of fabric, two JoAnne's coupons, 3 hours of my life, and 7 hammer on snaps later, here is the finished product.......

(Please excuse my wrinkled bed.  I tried my best to iron out all of the wrinkles, but have you ever tried to iron a king size duvet.....it is not a easy task.)  So now that that is finally finally finished its on to sweet talking my wonderful hubby into helping me make head and foot boards:~)
