I am trying to learn to sew now, so if you know how you should make your own stuff. From what I can tell, you have great taste and I am sure whatever you make will be fantastic.

I've been looking for a simple brown duvet cover but couldn't bring myself to pay that much for what they were asking for. I'll just make one with some really soft sheets! Thanks for posting this!

I got a really nice all-white duvet cover there for about $20 last year. Back and border of front are solid white cotton, middle section is pintucked white cotton. Lovely and simple! Try Ikea, too.
