How about buying a king size bed spread then laying the comforter on top for a layered look. No sewing required!
😊
Find a fabric that you can cut and add to both sides of the comforter-you can even use a sheet. You can then attach it with quick stitch. Super easy
How about just getting a dust ruffle
You can use fusible webbing that iron's on and is washable to attach more material.
Maybe a light weight blanket that compliments the color of your comforter, that is a little larger than your comforter.
Add a rolled trim to the edge. Not only does it give it length but it gives it style as well. You could always go for a plain color that is in the comforter for that something extra.
Put your comforter on and then find a sheet that matches or contrasts (depending on your taste) and fold in half or thirds and lay it across the bottom and let hang over the end of your bed to cover the mattress.
Liquid stitch work well or run some Velcro with a sticky back so you can remove it if you dry clean the spread
Add a border all the way around in a coordinating fabric. All straight seams, you can do this!
Is this handmade, or store boughten? If it knitted, just pick up the stiches and knit more rows .. this can be done, very easy. If it is store boughten, then add some pieces, and you can choose which pattern you want, and put padding inside it, before you sew it together. Take this to a sewing store if you don't know what to do. They may help you, and help you get more matching colors so this is not easily spotted by others. J.
The best responses was a light weight blanket to compliment the comforter
No sewing with Quick Stich or Liquid Stitch It is like a glue that kind of fuses the fabrics together with no sewing and it works great. NO SEWING
I think fringe might work, it comes in many lengths and colors. Lynne
I am having the same issue. I am thinking about buying a fabric and sewing it on around my comforter. Maybe just three sides. HELP
Do you crochet? Add a few rows of crocheted edging. I did this on mine. Problem solved. Good luck.
Hello All !!!
I just found a site (walmart sells their stuff too), the name is www.byourbed.com and they sell OVERSIZED comforters.. I'm in love... highly recommended.. hope it helps.
Hi! I've run into this with the "fits full/queen" size that's sold. A flat top sheet that matches or compliments the comforter can drape below the comforter. No sewing!
Buy a bigger size ?
I had had the same problem. I went to the thrift store to find what I needed. There were several different color bed skirts with the mesh. I cut the bed skirt on the white mess area (that goes under the mattress) about 2 inches from the colored material. I then stitched this material on the bedspread on both sides of the spread. This made the sides longer and it looks really good. I did this on several different spreads, matching the colors I wanted
