Sewing Advice needed

[Lizzy2]

Has anyone done any sewing of bedding?
I want to make my DD4 a duvet cover and was just wondering what kind of fabric would be best-If I use the quilting kind would it be sturdy enough?
I know you can also use two sheets together, as well. Anybody have any thoughts?
All opinions will be valued and appreciated!!
Thanks so much

Depends on what kind of bedding you are making. If you are making a duvet cover, then lighter fabrics work best since you will be washing it more frequently. If you are making a real bedspread, then higher-end fabrics make the best choice. Sheets offer the advantage of wider sizing, but they tend to be more "see-through" than other fabrics. My advice is to keep it simple if you are an intermediate sewer, as the size of these projects can sometimes overwhelm.
