In reply to Tipawhee. Most of the fabrics that I used were really think upholstery weight. The best option would be to buy a white comforter at Target for $25 and make the bedding that you want!

I love this duvet cover and I’ve been looking for fabric to fit in my toddler daughter’s ‘big girl room’ to cover a black and white polka dotted comforter for a while now. I finally found some I thought would work well with her room. I got home and laid it on the comforter when I noticed that it was very, very thin. Low and behold, you can see everything right through it. I had to have 3 layers of fabric for it not to show through. I tried medium weight interfacing behind one layer but it didn’t help much. I’m very new to sewing and I don’t know what to do. Is there anything that can be done or should I move onto another fabric? What types of fabric should I be looking for? Please help!!

Ruffles, one way to gather fabric is with clear elastic. If you had 24″ of fabric, you could use 12″ of elastic, plus half an inch at each end for a little handle. That would be a 2 to 1 ratio. After you sew the ruffled fabric to the main piece, you trim off the excess, including the elastic.
…One time I did this, I used wash away thread, and was able to re-use the elastic.
…and you only have to use a straight stitch, so that’s easy.
…don’t they sell ruffler attachments for sewing machings nowaday? Wouldn’t that be the easiest way to make ruffles? I’m old, so I really don’t know 🙂
