Instead of buying new comforter, buy fabric have mom sew?

I want just a zebra comforter, I have a comforter already just not zebra. My mom used to sew quilts etc with her sewing machine, if I buy material from the store can she sew me a cover to put over the comforter I already have instead of spending $100+? Is it hard to buy fabric that big (what about online)?

She won’t need a special sewing machine (duvet covers usually aren’t stitched onto the comforter, so you can remove them and wash them), but you may have problems finding fabric that is large enough.

Most fabric isn’t sold any larger than 60″ in width, that means that your mother will have to put individual pieces together to make the Comforter Cover. This can look good or bad, depending on how it is styled. If you choose to go this way, I would suggest doing the top of the bed in zebra and then doing the parts of the comforter cover that will drop down on the sides in black or white.

I wouldn’t suggest buying a comforter cover premade unless you have purchased a down comforter, or found a cover that is made for an oversized down comforter. Down comforters are generally smaller than regular ones, and you probably won’t be able to fit your regular comforter into a full sized duvet cover.

What you need to do is measure the length and width of your current comforter. If you can find a cover that you like that is equal to or slightly larger (within an inch or two) than the comforter you have, then you can use that cover.

If you can’t (and I suspect you can’t), then you can do one of two things. Find zebra sheets. Purchase two flat sheets in a size at least a couple inches larger than the comforter (it should have the exact measurements listed on the package)–too big is okay, too small is not. You may have to buy two sheet sets, as a lot of places do not sell flat sheets individually. Then your mother can sew them together, removing or hiding any extra fabric, giving you a comforter cover.

Your second option is to go to a fabric store and look for their extra-wide fabric. This is made in much larger widths than regular fabric (for projects like this), and you should be able to make a cover out of it. This is usually sold in yards. If your comforter is 85″ long, you would need to purchase at least six yards of fabric to cover it. Make sure you have a bit extra, for seam allowance.
