Hi Angie,

Do you know, I'm not sure there are patterns for this! I have recently made
super-king size (6ft wide) sheets and duvet covers and pillowcases for my
new bed - to match the new decor.

Bed linen is super easy - its all rectangles! Measure the duvet cover and
add a bit - say an inch or 2 to allow for the height of the duvet, and an
extra inch at the bottom for the snap tape (will probably be called popper
here in the UK - although most places I asked seem to understand UK and USA
terminollogy ;-) ).

Cut top and bottom to the size you have determined. Whiz up one side, across
the top and down the other. Apply popper tape across the both ends - watch
what side it goes on! Turn cover right side out, fold up popper tape to
inside, now at each side of the bottom, sew a rectangle the depth of the
poper tape and a few inches wide - this stops the corners of the duvet
hanging out at the bottom, and prevents ripping the tape / bottom of duvet,
especially if you reinforce!

Another easy method is to make the duvet cover like a pillowcase, with a
tuck in long flap rather than popper tape.

HTH,

Sarah (piccies of mine available if you want!)

All I do for duvet covers is measure the duvet!

A single duvet is 137 x 198cm (54 x 78in). You need two pieces of fabric
that size plus two seam allowances across the width, and one seam allowance
plus hem allowance across the length. Sew the two together along both long
and one short sides. Hem the open end and apply your chosen fastenings. I
use either buttons or Dritz snaps.

HTH
