A long time ago, kmgf posted a request for help on finding wide width
fabric. She was starting a bedding line to make duvets and shams. I
am doing the same thing. I am finding it particulary hard to find high
thread count nice cotton in wide widths. Did anyone ever find out
where she was able to find this fabric? I am desperate for help as the
research on Google could go on for years with all the millions of
websites to read. I also am in the same budgetary quandary she was, in
that I would like to spend about $3-4 a yard if possible. I will be
making children's bedding, so I need to save wherever I can. Any help
from the cyber world would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Lisa Vold

Lisa, I found the best place to get high count cotton was to find
cotton sheets on sale, and use two sheets instead of cotton yardage..
Some stores sell these sheets separately, (notably, here in the US,
Marshall's, Kohl's, Tuesday Morning Sales, and others) so you can buy
two top sheets, and simply sew them together for a duvet cover. Quick,
easy, oand, most of the time, inexpensive.

Land's End also have nice sheets sold separately.
I am in no way connected to them, except a happy customer.

HI - did you find what you needed? I've been looking for a duvet cover
for a twin blanket and they either don't exist or are very expensive.
Have you decided what you would charge for this?
I considered sewing 2 twins together. Maybe I should give that a try.
