"yo hago mi cama" sounds redundant to me...
It sounds redundant, yes, but "yo me hago la cama" not, it sounds perfect.

To make the bed = hacer la cama

"Yo hago la cama." ("I make my bed.")

Since I'm the one making the bed, it's understood I'm making my own bed; "yo hago mi cama" sounds redundant to me... but that could be just me. We'll see what others say.

Haz la cama.

If it is not clear from the context, whose bed you're referring to, then:

Haz tu cama. (your bed)
Haz mi cama. (my bed)

Spanish tends to avoid possessives (like "tu" if they relationship is clear from the context).
