As a general rule, a polyfill insert shouldn’t be more than about one inch (~2,5cm) larger than the pillow cover. For smaller covers (14”x14”(~36x36cm) or less) the insert should ideally be no larger than the cover. If you are using feather/down inserts, you may be able to use inserts that measure as much as 2 or three inches bigger than the cover depending of the ‘loft’ or volume of the insert. Source
When I sized my duvet from the cover I made it 3 cm smaller than the cover.

In DIY Fashion there is a discussion about using patterns or not. Here is my chip:
For me inspiration and the finished item is the most important. Patterns, photos, tutorials, and the like has helped me understand a lot about making useful items. Patterns can be useful to me as a beginner to see and learn to analyse the hows of sewing.
YEAH!
I am happy because I was inspired a lot by the following websites:
Please comment if you were also inspired and perhaps decided to also do something yourself.

In getting to know the sewing lingo and special terms I found the following resources helpful:
Get to know your machine. How does it sound when working properly? Try to close your eyes while sewing and memorize the sound. If something is not right you can often tell by unusual sounds from the machine. Make sure to service your machine regularly to avoid problems.
