Backstory: I've been wanting new bedding for about a year now....I've been looking at duvets and duvet covers and pillows and all that stuff since before Christmas last year. Alright, so I found one on Anthropologie that I loved...but let's face it, Anthropologie's prices are a bit steep...and by a bit I mean like straight up a cliff steep ($208 just for the duvet cover)....alright, well I'm a poor college kid who needs to pay her bills...moving on to Plan B...I'll MAKE my bedding and save some money while still getting the look I want.
So I found a tutorial on the one I wanted to make....alright, cool...well the tutorial, as it turns out, isn't quite as explanatory as someone like me needs, it was more of an outline...which is helpful, but not really...so after trial and error and HOURS of math, measuring, cutting, pinning and sewing....it's still not done...I've literally put about 14 hours into this thing so far. The front is about 2/3 done... but sewing it onto the back will be a breeze compared to the rest (there's lots of gathering involved which, if you didn't know, gathering means you have to sew the same side TWICE...once to gather it and once to actually attach it....who knew...). Granted, I was watching 2 Gerard Butler movies yesterday while I worked on it...so that might have something to do with a couple of those hours I mentioned...just maybe....Good lord that man is yummy! *drool*
ANYWAYS....I have to work the next 4 days in a row...so hopefully I'll get a little done here and there and HOPEFULLY (fingers crossed) have it done by Sunday. I thought I would have it done yesterday....ha!
Did I mention I only got 5 hours of sleep last night because of this freakin' thing? You're lucky any of this is coherent (if it even is).
Until next time!
loves!
It's going to be worth it when it's done!
