Calm sound sleep is a guarantee of your full life and performance. And he, in turn, depends on how comfortable it is for you to sleep, and, in particular, on bedding. It should be not only pleasant to the body, but also beautiful, as well as durable, preserving its appearance in the process of frequent washing. The selection and purchase of the fabric from which the bedding will be sewn is a pleasant and responsible matter.
What fabric to choose for sewing bedding
If you decide to sew a set of bedding yourself before buying everything you need, you need to decide which fabric you want to sew from. First of all, it should be only natural. For normal, daily use, cotton fabrics are suitable: calico, calico, calico, cambric, flannel, etc. - These are traditional materials from which bedding is sewn.
They are inexpensive, but at the same time they are well suited to those requirements that should ensure you have a good sleep: they let air through perfectly, absorb moisture, wash well and do not deform when washing, iron and are quite durable. More "solemn" and durable are satin, jacquard and percale. Flax is especially strong and durable. Out of competition, including in cost, silk, which warms the skin in winter, and in summer gives it coolness when it comes in contact with such linen.
Of cotton fabrics, satin is particularly durable; these fabrics are usually designed for 200 washings without loss of quality.
How much material is needed
Calculate how much material you need to sew the necessary bedding. It is very convenient to use a fabric with a width of 2.20 m, in this case you will not have to stitch it and there will be no seams on your sheets and duvet covers. You should only take into account the width of the bed and for sewing a sheet and a duvet cover take 3 widths and add another 150-200 cm to the hem. Calculate the fabric consumption for sewing pillowcases separately, taking into account the size of the pillows.
