Just a sneak peek at the Big Ballerina's bedroom. It's all painted out. I even channeled my inner Martha this weekend. And sewed a duvet cover for her bed.
I haven't done that in years. But I got tired of trying to find "the perfect one" in stores and online. So I went back to Macy's where I bought her sheets. Grabbed a set of Martha's sheets in the perfect blue.
On clearance. With an extra 30% off. *woot*
Took the flat sheets from both sets. Cut them to size. Finished the bottom edges. And sewed them together. (Leaving an opening at the bottom, of course.)
An hour and $15 later. Her bed was made. And LB was asking me to do the same for her room.
I decided to use different sheets for each side of the cover so she'd have options. And so she could actually make her bed herself. Just pull the duvet up. Fold over the top. Done. Instant coordinated look.
There are still a bunch of changes to make in her room. But tonight she actually chose to go up to her room to read.
And LB couldn't resist ambushing her.

You sew??!! I am trying to learn and am amazed at the duvet cover idea! You left an opening at the bottom and do you put buttons or what?
Sisterly love!!!

Love the antique feel of the shot, and of course the ticklefest capture! Very impressed with the use of a sewing machine.

How perfect is that? I wish I could sew...that would be so awesome and I would have a bed full of perfect pillows! LOL
Oh my gosh, it looks great! You never said you were talented with a needle! That is a great idea. And her room looks good too. I think that color will do well over the years.
