Installment one was a much-needed duvet cover for a little one out of Alexander Henry's fabric, Natura. I used a tutorial online and some common sense to put it together. It still needs buttons and a pillowcase, but its a start.

Project Home: Installment One {Duvet Cover}
Because I am completely overwhelmed by all of the craft projects I want to take on at the moment (like this, and this, and this), I have decided that I need to focus (focus?! what's that? not my strong point). For the year 2010, I am going to be crafting for home. Given that we are moving into a new to us, but very very old and in need of love, home, this seems like a good place to start. So aside from a sweater that I need to complete for the hubby, I am going to be knee deep in sewing, knitting, refinishing, and refurbishing (I am not ever quite sure what that means, but I will probably be doing it) crafty things for our new abode.

Oh that fabric is awesome! I love the little pink house project too. I made a bsj for a friend a long time ago but used the "cheater" line-by-line directions. I was just thinking that I might try one for my Nora using EZ's "pithy" ones. I thought of you today when I checked out The Family at Home from the library.
Oh how I need your inspiration! I lose focus sooo easily and we really needs things for our home.
I am in the midst of making a patchwork duvet cover for my oldest. What tutorial did you use?
Those fabrics look fantastic! I'm excited to see more of your home crafting. And I totally feel your overwhelmed with wanting to do too much issue!
Great duvet Sachi! I saw that sweater on soulmama's blog yesterday and totally thought of you and how you would love that. I had a feeling you would try this out for little Clydie. Can't wait to see your version : ) I can absolutely relate to that overwhelming feeling of wanting to do so much and not have enough time. Possibly have that feeling every day.
I know just how you feel about being overwhelmed by the creative "to-make" list. I have a long one too and very little energy. I love the duvet that is an awesome start. Funny, that little felt house if on my list too. LOVE it!
That is fantastic fabric! Would you mind posting a link to the tutorial that you used? Our duvet cover is in desperate need of being replaced, and I would love to create a new one.
So beautiful!
That is so lovely. I really love the fabric, and a duvet cover is the perfect cozy wintertime thing.
I really love this. Beautiful fabrics and cozy spot.
1Just gorgeous and very cozy looking! Makes me want to climb right in!
Oh where, oh where was that duvet tutorial?! I've needed one for some time, but your stunning version has lit a fire under me!
