Kissed Pin-Tuck

I am currently trying to spruce up my bedding without spending a lot of money. I have a white quilt as the base and nothing else really. So I decided to make a throw quilt that mimics a duvet cover to place across the bottom of the bed. I love this look from west elm. . .


. . but I don't want to pay that much. So I found a tutorial on line for this "kissed pintuck" look from Martha Stewart. I purchased two ice-blue sheet sets from Marshalls and I am using the two flat sheets to make the throw. I have already started making the kissed pleats and they look fantastic! It is really easy.

I will use the bottom, fitted sheets to make some throw pillows out of and use a variety of stitches, which I have found tutorials for: the pin-tuck, the honey-comb, and more of the kissed pintuck.

I'll post pictures when I am done.

I love the look. I'm anxious to see what it looks like when it is finished. We need some finished projects displayed on this site. :)

I love the look too. I want to make some pillows with the kissed pintuck and the honey-comb for Samantha's room. What a cool way to make fancy pillows and quilts out of plain-ish fabric.

This looks really interesting. It looks like a really fun project. Maybe I can see it when I come this winter. I am anxious to see the finished product.
