Bedding for a Baby Duvet and Pillow made from Fabric with decorated Designs

1   Duvet cover: Cut a 70 x 103 cm piece of patterned fabric and a 70 x 113 cm piece of plain fabric. Pillow case: Cut a 48 x 42 cm piece of patterned fabric (+ a large triangle measured by eye) and a 48 x 52 cm piece of plain fabric. Decorate one or more designs in the patterned fabric using textile markers. Leave to dry.

2   Fix the colour with an iron.

3   Make 1 cm fold in the long side of the triangular piece of patterned fabric and sew. Attach it with pins onto the plain piece of fabric for the pillow case (inner side against outer side).

4   For the duvet cover and the pillow case: Make a 1 cm seam on the narrow side (which will be the opening) and sew. Place the two pieces of fabric together, outer side against outer side with the edges in the same direction. Fold the longer piece up over the other piece. Sew along the other three sides. Finish with zig-zag stitches along the edges. Turn inside out.
