as promised.

Here it is! My homemade duvet cover. I absolutely love it - the colours, the design, everything. The pattern is from Mood, the solid blue is from Len's Mill, and the grey underneath is none other than a $4.99 Value Village special. I wanted to use as much of the pattern as I could, but I didn't have enough to cover the entire duvet, so I framed the ends with the solid blue. I also dressed my bed with my new $10 sheets from Target...can't wait to crawl in tonight!

Bonus: new $4 curtains with cute yellow material from the clearance shelf at Len's Mill. Perfect Match.

skirt!

You may remember this material from my earlier post about the things I got at mood designer fabrics in LA. Here's the skirt I made! It's just a simple skirt with an elastic waist - but I'm pretty proud of it. (sorry about the awkwardness of the last pic...just trying to fit myself into the photo booth frame...maybe someday I'll get a real camera.) Oh! and the chair in the background is from my second post - I got some blue canvas to redo the sling part (to replace the worn brown stuff ). Stay tuned for the completion of that project in a later post!

If you ever get a chance to visit LA, or Manhattan, this is a worthwhile experience. Mood Designer Fabrics. I was like a kid in a candy shop. Where else can you buy a $70 yd of printed silk from Oscar del la Renta? I didn't, by the way, but I could have. I did, however, come out with a couple yards of printed cotton which I couldn't leave behind. A bit pricier than your average Len's Mill Store - but Len doesn't sell prints like this...

(I did visit Len's Mill later for the dark grey cotton, which I want to turn into a duvet cover with the blue print. I also found a set of twin sheets in light grey for $9.99 at Target!)
