How to easily customize bed sheets

Can you believe we spend sleeping one third of our life? So It’s totally worth it to have a cozy bedroom and a comfortable bed. To have a quality sleep the mattress, the pillows and the duvet you choose are obviously important. Do not neglect the quality of the linen either. The design and the color will obviously influence your choice, but you must also take into account the climate, the temperature of your house and the kind of fabric texture you like. I partnered with California Design Den to dress up my bed and make my bedroom more comfortable. And as you know me, I obviously added a personal touch by customizing the linen.

¿Puedes creer que pasamos durmiendo un tercio de nuestra vida? Así que vale la pena tener un dormitorio acogedor y una cama cómoda. Para tener un sueño de calidad, el colchón, las almohadas y el edredón que elijas son obviamente importantes. Tampoco hay que descuidar la calidad de las sabanas. El diseño y el color obviamente influyen en tu elección, pero también debes tener en cuenta el clima, la temperatura de tu casa y el tipo de textura de tela que te gusta. Me asocié con California Design Den para vestir mi cama y hacer que mi habitación sea más cómoda. Y como me conoces, obviamente agregué un toque personal al personalizar las sabanas.

I like cotton bed sheets and it was basically the only requirement I had in the past to choose linen. I always picked white ones…because you know they match everything and didn’t pay any attention at quality! Well, it’s clear that I was wrong. As soon at I opened the sheets I received by California Design Den I could feel the softness of the texture, it’s indeed a 400 thread counts. I give you a quick explanation: The quality of a fabric is measured in number of threads per square inch ( knowing that a good quality exceeds 200 threads per square inch, 400 being a very good quality). the higher is the thread count the softer and durable is the fabric.

* * *

Me gustan las sábanas de algodón y es básicamente el único requisito que tuve en el pasado para elegir sabanas. Siempre los elegí blancos … porque, ya sabes, combinan con todo y nunca preste atención a la calidad! Bueno, está claro que estaba equivocada. Tan pronto como abrí las sabanas que recibí de California Design Den, pude sentir la suavidad de la tela, es un conteo de 400 hilos. Te doy una explicación rápida: la calidad de una tela se mide en número de hilos por pulgada cuadrada (sabiendo que una buena calidad excede los 200 hilos por pulgada cuadrada, 400 es una calidad muy buena). cuanto más alto es el número de hilos, más suave y duradero es el tejido.

I also like the small detail of adding a envelope with two cards, one with the washing care and the other with the bed sheet crafting story. It’s nice and shows the interest of the brand to take care of the details. As you can see I picked a smoked pearl color…which was a big change for me, who was used to white linen. Before using them I washed , dried and even iron the sheets, they came out as new and didn’t shrink at all. It was the first time of my life I ever iron bed sheets but I wanted a nice bed dressing so it was worth it.

* * *

También me gusta el pequeño detalle de agregar un sobre con dos tarjetas, una con el cuidado para lavado y la otra con detalles sobre la elaboración de las sábanas. Es lindo y muestra el interés de la marca por cuidar los detalles. Como pueden ver, elegí un color gris perla … que fue un gran cambio para mí, que estaba acostumbrada al blanco. Antes de usarlos los lavé, los sequé e incluso los planché, salieron como nuevas y no se encogieron. Era la primera vez de mi vida que planchaba sábanas, pero quería que luciera estupenda la cama, así que valío la pena.

You know I like to personalize stuffs, so I give these sheets a little twist by sewing some trims on the edge. Depending of your bed sheet color, you can choose to work with coordinated trims as I did or go for a more contrasted effect. Each trim must be 2 inches longer than your bed sheet width. You can add as many trim as you like: I choose a beige pompom trim, and two upholstery trims.

* * *

Sabes que me gusta personalizar las cosas, así que le di un pequeño giro a estas sábanas cosiendo algunos galónes en el borde. Dependiendo del color de la sábana, puedes elegir trabajar con galónes coordinados como lo hice o elegir un efecto más contrastado. Cada galón debe ser 2 pulgadas más largo que el ancho de la sábana. Puede agregar tantos galónes como desees: elije un galón de pompones beige y dos galónes de tapicería.

Pin the trims with the fabric, be careful to place them parallel from the bed sheet edge and at the same distance of each other. Sew them using zigzag points and a matching color thread. As my trim have a lot of texture you can’t see the zigzag stitches. If you work with plain trim or ribbon it will look better to make straight stitches as close as possible of the trim edge.

* * *

Coloque los galónes en la sábana, tenga cuidado de colocarlos paralelos al borde de la sábana y a la misma distancia entre sí. Coserlos usando puntos en zigzag y con un hilo de color a juego. Como mis galónes tienen muchas texturas, no puedes ver los puntos en zigzag. Si trabajas con un liston o una cinta lisa, se verá mejor si realizas unas costuras rectas lo más cerca posible de los borde del liston.

To have nice finished edges, fold the trim edge under itself and add a few extra stitches to hold the ends together. And done, you are ready to dress up your bed with your freshly customized sheets.

* * *

Para tener bordes con un bonito acabado, doblas el extremo del galón por debajo de sí mismo y lo fijas con algunas puntadas. Y listo, estás lista para vestir tu cama con tus sábanas recién personalizadas.

It was a fun and easy customization to make! It only took me 30 minutes and it’s a king size bed. It’s a cool option if you want to personalize linen and add a splash of color in the bedroom. Right know I’m thinking of a rainbow trim edge for a kid’s bedroom…Do you have any other idea in mind?

* * *

¡Fue una customización divertida y fácil de hacer! Solo me tomó 30 minutos y tengo una cama king size. Es una opción genial si desea personalizar la ropa de cama y agregar un toque de color en cualquier habitación . Ahorita estoy pensando en un borde de arco iris para el dormitorio de una niña … ¿Tienes alguna otra idea en mente?

Thanks again to California Design Den for this collaboration!

Pin it for later!

    A high thread count is the number one thing for quality sheets. Besides that, I want to feel a substantial weight fabric, all cotton, with a finish that comes out of the dryer smooth and few wrinkles! I like pretty colors and sometimes tiny patters that go with my bedroom design scheme.

    Probably the most important element is the fabric content and its funtionability. Does it feel soft and comfortable, Does it help your body in hot or cold situations; can it adapt to be functional in odd temperatures and Does it feel like it invites your body onto the sheet.
    Another important element is the ability to wash and clean it with ease. This is important also.

    One that fits well and doesn’t rip or come off the corners! I’d love that. Thanks and God bless.

    Something that feels really good quality and thick without being too heavy or hot, while also being soft.
