marked sides.

Almost
done! All that’s left is to decide upon a method of keeping
the open-side closed.
If
you just want something utilitarian and inconspicuous, sew
strips of velcro along both sides of the opening, or install
snaps.
For
a prettier look, sew little strips of ribbon along the width of
both sides of the opening to make ribbon tie closures. Or if
you're up for a little more work, find some spiffy buttons. Sew
the buttons along one side along the width, then make
corresponding button holes along the other side Don't know how?
Check out our easy instructions for "How
to Sew a Buttonhole".
Whatever
fastener you end up choosing, you'll want to attach a fastener
every 6-8" or so along the width of the opening.

a little fancy...
Make
a reversible duvet
cover |
Choose sheets of different color/
pattern/ fabric for the top and bottom, and you can make a duvet
cover that's reversible to suit your mood. Choose a dark blue
sheet and a light blue sheet; striped red sheet and solid red
sheet; pistachio- green swirl sheet and pistachio- green dotted
sheet; lavender satin sheet and lavender cotton sheet... you get
the idea. Any closure besides the button closure (which has a
definite front-side and back-side) would work fine.
