I am here and this time I am dealing with bedding. A few years ago now we changed our bed to two electric beds, so both top and feet ends rise when needed. Thus I then doctored our existing mattress cover to make two new single bed covers. Well the time has come to now make two new mattress covers, and as I cannot buy suitable ones to fit, I ordered a super king size one and am now in the process of unpicking this and then cutting this in half and fitting this on the mattress so I have it boxed at the ends, and slightly going over the sides of the mattress, then I need to add the side fabric and elasticate this. Trying to wrestle the padded mattress cover through the overlocker has been fun, and I am about to cut this up the middle to make the two, then it will be much easier to manage. However also waiting in the wings I need to cut down a little a super sized duvet in order to fit into the duvet covers I have made - most duvet covers do not cover us at night, so I measured down to what we needed and made the covers to suit. Only problem is the new duvet is a four seasons one so that is twice the work. I have also cut down flat sheets in order to make fitted sheets for the beds - so that will be another job for later in the year once I have sourced the pale blue sheets I need.
