Make your kids Duvet Covers

 

I find duvet covers ridiculously expensive and there are very few really fun covers our there for kids! I'm sick of the cartoon characters and as my little man gets bigger so is he! So why not make your own?

 

IKEA fabric is 150cm wide (single duvet cover is only 90cm wide and 190 cm long). Buy 4 metres of fabric for about €20, fold it over, stitch the two sides to 90cm wide and use the left over side fabric to add ties to the bottom to hold the duvet in or just use velcro! You'll also have enought left over to make a pillow case in exactly the same way! Easy peezy! 

 Their fabric is all machine washable to 60degrees and its really fun for kids, plus its unique!

For all things Vintage - and CHEAP!

I'm a huge fan of Vintage, firstly because most of it is from a time when there was true style, and also because looking for that little something is like searching through a treasure chest in an attic! Every piece has a story behind it whether we know about it or not, and even beet, by buying vintage we are recycling without any effort! 

The Dublin Flea Market is on the last Sunday of every month and is worth a visit even if it's just to satisfy your curiosity or if like every woman I know you like to grab a bargain that looks expensive!

The Poster on the right is one from the Flea Market and they can be bought there for €5, that in itself is a bargain. Frame it as a piece of Art!
