Bedding

In December I happened onto the blog Kojo Designs

 Kojo posted a tutorial on some fantastic bedding that I instantly fell in love with.

Here is a picture of her amazing design and creation.


I told myself that after the holidays I would start the anthropologie inspired bedding project.

I didn't think I would follow through.

But I did.

Here is my version of the Kojo anthropologie inspired bedding.

Kojo has the entire tutorial on her blog here.

I started by cutting 56 squares of jersey knit sheets.

I hand sewed 56 knots.

I then added 5 pleats to each side of 56 squares and assembled.


 It is the first step in my bedroom makeover.


Ignore the other elements of my room. Focus on the bedding, but not the pillows, I am going to change the pillows.

It took me almost two months and now I am done.

First, I love the revamp of your blog! Second, I love the bedspread! Oh my goodness! When did you have time to make it all! And I also like the pillows because I love the blue accent. What are you changing them to? Seriously, you are an inspiration. Please pass on more of your crafty blogs!

So lovely! Great job! Glad you're back online. Although, it looks like being cut off makes you extremely productive. :)

INCREDIBLE!!!! I'm so glad you're back on the world wide web, or as I like to call it; the inter web. The bedding is amazing and I love the pillows you picked out, so chic!

I am awestruck, that is amazing and I echo the other sentiments about the pillow accents.

I LOVE the bedding! I am seriously jealous and also have complete confidence that if I attempted that project it would NOT turn out the same way. how would you like to make one for me? :)
