Duvet Cover

I finally got around to starting the girls duvet covers. I have had the fabric in my craft room for about three months. Now according to the template I used this is supposed to be done in an hour and a half. They lie!!!! Who ever wrote the tutorial obviously doesn't have four small children constantly interrupting them. That being said, it was well worth all the time. I think it came out so cute. I did have a few problems. That's what you get for waiting till midnight to start cutting the 50 pieces of fabric you need for two of these. Some of my cuts were a little off. No real harm done until I started sewing (once again late at night). I had to redo a whole bunch of the squares because I landed up sewing the wrong ends together. I do have a whole new love for my seam ripper though. Honestly though, I loved sewing this. More than that I love that I created something for my daughter that she just loves. The look of joy on her face made my whole day. One down, one to go. Then it's on to making the matching curtains.
