How to Make Fitted Crib Sheets |

Does anyone know how to make a crib bedding set? I wanted to save money and sew my own, but the patterns cost too much. I figured its basic straight line sewing, but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. Most sets come with a fitted sheet, bumper, dust ruffle, and comforter.
I have searched this site and found out how to make the bumper, but I'm really unsure about making a fitted sheet. Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I only have about 4 months till my due date.

RE: How to Make Fitted Crib Sheets
I posted this idea last year. I hope this will help. I know you call thing differently in the States but if its a Moses basket. You want ideas for I always used cotton pillow cases. They're just the right size. You just slip the mattress in and it won't crinkle up under the baby. Jan UK

RE: How to Make Fitted Crib Sheets
These are great ideas. My daughter did her baby room in lime and tangerine, not Dayglo colors, but for something different, and it is hard to find bed sheets! I don't know why I didn't think of this, to make the sheets. Glad now that I looked at this post!

Request: How To Make Fitted Crib Sheets
Archived on 05/29/2009
Suggestions and advice on how to make your own fitted crib or playpen sheets from the ThriftyFun community. Post your own experiences here.
Use Mattress As A Guide
I made sheets for my playpen for my first grandbaby this year. It isn't hard to do. I know it would be the same for a crib sheet. I bought bargain fabric about a dollar a yard, one pattern was Winnie the Pooh. You can use cotton or jersey knit. I laid my mattress on top of the fabric and then cut it about 8-9 inches longer than that to allow for the depth of the mattress. Then I cut a 4 inch square from each corner using a template I made of cardboard.
Next, I sewed up each of the corners making them pocket corners. The next step is to make a 1/4 inch hem all the way around the sheet and when that is done take 4 pieces of narrow elastic, approximately 16 inches long, and zig zag one on each of the corner pockets. My suggestion would be to "experiment" with an old sheet when making the first one. Then you will have it made when doing the rest of them. Yeah, I know you can buy them cheaper probably but there is nothing more loving than making them yourself.

I used the instructions from this website: http://www.bundlesoflove.org/sheetpattern.htm
I bought a set of double sheets, and made 4 crib sheets, 2 from the top sheet, 2 from the fitted sheet, and then had pillowcases that matched when my son became a toddler.
I was able to get soft flannel crib sheets this way. It is hard to find them otherwise, and in a color that matched my nursery scheme.

The standard crib is 30 inches x 54 inches. The standard crib mattress is 27 1/4 inches x 52 inches.
The standard fitted crib sheet is 28 inches x 52 inches. The depth of the sheet will vary depending on your mattress, most are 4 inches to 8inches deep. (01/04/2008)
