Special fabrication of duvet covers, pillowcases, shams, and comforters

Abstract

An exemplary method for fabricating duvets, shams, or pillowcases comprises: providing first squared fabric leftover pieces of a first color; providing second squared fabric leftover pieces of a second contrasting color equal to the first pieces; stitching together the leftover pieces arranged in a checker pattern, wherein each first square is adjacent to second squares and vice-versa, forming a top and a bottom joint sheets substantially equal and rectangular, both having two longitudinal sides and transversal sides; superimposing the top sheet on the bottom sheet, stitching them together along the longitudinal sides and one transversal side by a sewing machine, thereby coupling them. A comforter can be made of one top joint sheet (produced by the above method), one heat insulation layer, and one regular bottom sheet. A method modification includes arranging a joint sheet from strips; wherein each strip differs from its adjacent strip or strips by contrasting colors.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to bed coverings, specifically to duvet covers, pillowcases, shams, comforters, and methods for making such bed coverings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Prior art describes several methods of producing duvet covers. A typical method includes a step of cutting a substantially rectangular piece of fabric from a continuous roll. This piece of fabric has two longitudinal edges and two transverse edges, wherein the length of the longitudinal edges is substantially double the length of the longitudinal edges of the duvet cover to be produced. The next steps include hemming of the transverse edges; and folding the length of fabric to form a folded edge, in such a way that the two opposing transverse edges come to lie against one another, thereby forming the duvet cover, wherein said duvet cover is inside out, i.e. the side which will finally be on the inside is now on the outside. The next step is provided in this position, wherein the s...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a method for making bed coverings from leftover fabric pieces. The method allows for the fabric pieces to be arranged in a checker pattern, which makes the stitches between them unnoticeable. This results in a patchwork sheet of fabric that looks like a whole piece of fabric, but is made from leftovers. The method is cost-effective and aesthetically acceptable, providing consumer value to the bed coverings made from leftovers. The invention also allows for the creation of duvet covers, comforter sets, shams, pillowcases, and other bed coverings from leftovers."

Problems solved by technology

This often drives up the price of the duvet cover, especially when expensive natural fabrics are used in the production of the duvet.

On the other hand, there is often a lot of small pieces (leftovers) of fabric produced as a result of fabrication of other products.

The problem with such utilization however exists in that the aesthetic look of so made articles is generally not sufficiently neat to satisfy most consumers.

The reason of the unsatisfactory look is that the stitches between the leftover pieces are typically noticeable, which most of the customers don't like.
