Materials you might need?
If you are making a twin size duvet cover using 45" wide fabric, the fabric requirement is 2 times the length of the cover. If your repeat is large, you may need 3 to 4 times the length in order to match the prints at the seams.
Small prints such as calico fabric should not require matching. I always buy extra fabric, to add complimenting trim to curtains and pillows.You will also need to repeat your top fashion fabric or use a sheet (same as the bed size you are making) for the bottom of the Duvet Cover.
Closures are a matter of choice. For these direction I will be using 3/4" buttons and button holes. I have also seen zippers and velcro used to close duvet covers.
All directions is used with a 1/2 seem
All covers will require even side sections added to each side of your fashion fabric. Refer to this chart for cutting your sections

This is how you do it:
1.Join side sections to center section using 1/2" seams. Zig zag or serge your seams to prevent fraying. Press the seams.
2.Lay out the back and top section, right sides together. Pin enough to secure the two sections together. Stitch the side and bottom seams using 1/2" seams. Zig zag or serge the seam allowance.
Press under 1/2" of top raw edge.
3.Measure 2 1/2" from the top edge. Mark 1/3 of the way in from the side seam edges towards the center. Stitch a 2 1/2" seam from the top edge to the 1/3rd mark.
Turn under 1/2" on raw edge and press. Press the entire top edge down to form a two inch hem (including the seamed top area). Pin to hold in place.
4.Top stitch the hem. Turn Right side out and press.
Place buttons and button holes approximately 5" apart, evenly spaced in the remaining opening.
Good Luck!
