❤ Good Morning, Marie. Blessings to you all out there. I thank you for your generosity with your knowledge. You have given me courage to sew “grownups” dresses and showed us how to read a sewing pattern and get the sizes right. I made a wearable muslin for my granddaughter who lives in a state far away from New Jersey. It fits her well. Yay! Thanks again for your grace and encouragement. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The way the light hit the fabric in the post I had thought a wedding dress video was in the future but This is so handy for me I have sheets that need refitting thank you Marie!!
Hey Marie! I have sheets that are a little too short and what a brilliant idea! Now they will fit under the mattress and not pop out - love this tidbit! Thank You !! Happy Sewing Virginia in Arkansas 👍
Never thought about piecing a long strip into a fitted sheet! Now, if i find a sheet set i love but it's designed for skinnier mattresses, i know what to do. ❤. I have a few fitted sheets i need to fix the dead elastic on. They keep getting shuffled to the bottom of the pile.
Thanks for this tip on how to adjust sheets to fit those (annoying) new deep mattresses. Haven't tried it yet, but it should save some favorite sheets!
This is genius!!!! Thanks so much Marie, I’m going to try this as we have a deep king mattress and regardless of what the manufacturer says the fitted pockets are never deep enough!!❤
Omgosh I was so excited to see this video When my husband passed away I went from a king size bed to a queen, not a problem...well kind of not. Know I have king size sheets that I don't want to get rid of, $$$, but I don't know how to cut the fitted sheets down to queen size. I tried one and I mutilated it, lol. If you have a technique on how to do this can you please share. I really thank you for all your videos you share. Thank you
thank you for this. i have sheets with as deep a pocket i can find, but i have added a memory foam mattress of 4 inches and a fluffy mattress cover so nothing will fit well...going to do this.
That was so clever, you’re officially a genius! That was one of those obvious as heck things that you never think of until someone shows you, then you can’t believe you never thought of it! 😂 …Now, where did i put that dumb shallow sheet 🤔
thank you! i think i will just add fabric to the corners and not all the way around. and i don’t even care what color just as long it is the same quality so that it launders okay.
Hmm, I think I would just tuck it under the mattress :) But you could do the reverse and make a reducing tuck by however much you needed on the side above the elastic.
Great problem solving😁
Great idea. Unless you can afford custom sheets, it is hard to find sheets that fit.
Thanks for sharing your method. Never tried this, but if I ever need to do it, now I know an easy way.
What a great idea. Thank you.
Thank you for your help.
Brilliant idea. It never even crossed my mind to make the fitted sheet deeper. Wow!
Thank you so much

Great idea. Making something that seems complicated simple, as usual.
Thank you Marie your a star just what I needed
Nice technique. I definitely need to do this for my bed. My 20 yr old $$$$ sheets are looking sad

This is brilliant! I have always had trouble finding sheets for my deep mattress. Your tutorials are the best! Thank you!
Such a simple fix for a big problem! 👍 Thank you Marie for all you share with us!💕
Whoah, you are soooooo amazing! I needed this so much, thanks
Thank you Marie ❤
Thanks Marie for showing us……great tip…..!! 😊

I like vintage sheets because they are so soft, but they don't fit the mattress well. This is brilliant. Thank you.
What a great idea. Thank you for showing us to do this.

As usual, such good titbits you come up with. Great idea.
Brilliant! Thanks Marie! 😀
Thank you - great video!
Never ever thought of that. Brilliant!

only issue: I don't have a serger, is it okay to leave it as is without that?
Just watch out for fraying. Can you french seam or just zig zag over the edges?
What if you want to make a fitted sheet a standard & it's a deep pocket?
Hmm, I think I would just tuck it under the mattress :) But you could do the reverse and make a reducing tuck by however much you needed on the side above the elastic.
