Last year I began working on bedding for my daughter, making her an organic mattress, an upcycled wool mattress protector, and sheets. The next thing on my list was a new comforter as her last one was crib sized and entirely too small for her new twin-sized mattress (not to mention it almost didn’t cover her feet anymore!) And so I made her an organic cotton and wool comforter.
For the 68×86 shell I used 5 1/2 yards of 100% organic cotton sateen in a creamy white which I bought from here. It was listed at a fantastic price as it was a last in stock piece and is a great way to save some money if you are looking to do the same.
The wool batting I bought from here in the thick twin comforter size option which came to three pounds of wool. After assembling the comforter I hand-stitched the layers together to prevent the wool from shifting (pictured above) with several running stitches using pearl cotton embroidery floss.
And voila! A finished organic, fluffy soft, heavenly cloud of a comforter!
Don’t poke your sister.

Wow. I thought sewing cot sized fitted sheets for my son was exceptional, but you’ve seriously done the whole bed!!!
That last photo is too cute
Thanks! I’ll confess I’m not looking forward to doing the whole works again for my son.. ><
