Yes you can. use the softer feathers as they are the best and will hold the warmth in better. My MIL and SIL all made the feather downs for all their family members. Was the feathers in pillow cases and warm soapy water, rinse then hang out in the sun for a few days until the feathers are properly dry. You lastly lock yourself in the smallest room you have and proceed to exchange them from the pillow cases to the bed size casing made from ticking ,sew up the end then you will have one of those expensive covers for next nothing.
