Right, after watching this thread with envy, I can finally post something hooooray!
First completed project was out of need: I couldn't find a cotbed sized duvet & cover anywhere in Oz, so I cut a single duvet in half and upcycled a cover from an old double-duvet cover of mine that had been in storage here. The Poppet is loving her grown up bedding.
That got me on a roll, but I'm still pretty rusty so wanted a basic project to start with, so I made this:

Next up I'm going to make her a bean bag out of another double duvet cover I have kicking around. Anyone made one and have tips or a tutorial link?
