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.

edges down at all. it definately can not be used... does anyone have
directions that work better than these? or can u tell me whats bad with

Try these instructions: http://www.andsewitis.net/sewing/sheets.html

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.

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...

When I was a little girl, all the top sheets we bought were mitered at
the bottom corners.

Just remember to leave room for the feet under the sheet.
