Making a Fitted Sheet Wider.
1 Material
Before you can widen a sheet, filling in the corner needs to be done first.
When you open up a fitted sheet corner, you will find that there is a square of fabric missing. Before you can widen the sheet, this corner must first be filled in.
Measure the size of the square and cut a piece of fabric so that you have a 5/8 inch over lap onto the sheet.
Press under the 5/8 making the corner a nice square
Pin the fabric onto the top side of the sheet
Pin the corner
Stitch close to the edge
On the wrong side of the sheet, fold under and stitch close to the edge.
Clip in at the corner just enough to allow you to fold under to make a secure corner.
Pin the corner.
Stitch around the corner.
Wrong side finished.
Right Side finished. Now you can add fabric all along the side of the sheet to make it wider,
