Help!! Fitted sheets
I think I remember reading in the Kwik-Sew book about sewing for babies the way
to measure for crib sheets was this: measure the top width and length of the crib mattress. Measure the depth, add 5-6 inches. Add this to the width and depth, and this is the minimum your raw fabric should measure. I always used the 2 yard length of 45 wide fabric with 8 inch cut out of the corners as well if I didnt have the actual measurements. Hope this helps. Stefanie |

You know, if I were making sheets, I would definitely miter the corners of the
top sheets, too. Wouldn't that make sense? Hmm, maybe I should do that to all my flat sheets, anyway! Would sure help with making the bed, and I'm all for making anything easier these days. Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |

Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati When I had a hide-a-bed I made a set of sheets for it (queen-size sofabeds are *not* queen-size). I took a couple of king-size sheets and mitered only one end of each to the width of the mattress. When I made that bed up for guests I put the mitered end at the head for the bottom sheet and put the top one on as god intended. Held the foot of the bottom sheet tucked in. Have never done this for the other beds, though... Hmmm... |
