Make Your Own Crib Sheets
by Mary Wilkins
Description: Easy instructions for how to sew your own crib sheets.
These crib sheets can be made very quickly and easily. Cute flannels will dress up any crib. SUPER SIMPLE CRIB SHEETS These are so easy. I have made several for my grandsons. They have the habit of stripping their mattress before they settle down for the night.
YOU NEED:
2 pieces of flannel the length of your crib mattress plus 6" and the width of your mattress
6" Velcro hook and loop tape - about 9" of each
Thread to match
METHOD:
What we are going to make here is essentially a very large pillowcase that fits over the mattress and closes off at one end with the velcro.
Measure your crib mattress and cut your fabric using the measurements above.
Put the 2 pieces of fabric right sides together. Stitch using a straight stitch around 2 long sides and one short end.
Leave other end open.
Press under 1/4" on raw edges of open end.
Turn under another 1/4" and stitch.
Cut Velcro hook and loop tape into 3 3" pieces.
Stitch hook pieces (one at either end, one in the middle) on one edge and loop pieces on other edge.
Slip sheet over mattress and enclose open end with Velcro. Poke in the corners and you're finished.
There you go, simple and easy as pie and guaranteed cozy for that special baby.
