Do you have a duvet?
Does it have a cover?
Does it always end up an annoying mess where the duvet scrunches down in the cover?
If not, you can stop reading. Well - go ahead and keep reading. You still might need this some day. We had that problem. Then, one day, I was putting on a cover that my Mother-in-law gave us. It had these weird little tie things on the inside corners. Then it hit me. Somewhere, someone was making duvets with loops to go with duvet covers with strings and you were supposed to tie them together so you didn't get the sliding issue! Our duvet, of course, didn't have loops on it. Simple problem to solve.
All you need are strips of fabric or ribbon, a needle and thread. No machine required.
For the cover, take two pieces (ribbon or strips of fabric, whatever you have) and sew them on the inside corner. Repeat on each corner AND at the halfway point on the short sides - where the head of the bed and foot of the bed are.
Next, you'll take one piece of your chosen material and make a loop and attach it to the corner of the duvet. Repeat on all corners and, again, at the halfway point on the short sides of the duvet.
Tie the duvet cover to the loops you made on the duvet on one side. Then start the process of pulling the duvet cover over the duvet. Once it is over, tie the remaining side together and close up the duvet cover.
Viola. That should prevent the annoying traveling duvet. Simple and oh so gratifying.
