Finding and buying ready-made bedding to fully meet your requirements is not so simple. Either the size does not fit, then the colors are terrible, then the price is too high.
In this case, it is easier to buy fabric and sew a bed set yourself. It is best to opt for natural materials such as calico, calico, cotton, linen or silk. Pay attention to the quality and durability of the fabric, especially color or with a bright print. The paint must be resistant to wear and tear and frequent washing. Therefore, before proceeding with the cutting, be sure to wash the purchased section - you will see how the paint behaves and, in addition, the fabric will naturally shrink.
Dry the fabric and iron well. Now you can start cutting and sewing.
