I am forever having to pull our sheets down because they don't fit the mattress. </p> <p>You guys are encouraging me to make a flannel sheet for H. I have a long list of holiday sewing... Maybe I can squeeze one out for her stocking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1969795 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:38:20 +0000 blackbird 1969795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I saw a tutorial for that after I finished and thought it would make more sense, heh. I'll have to try that next time. @Espion: oh good idea! They definitely look like freaky intimidating torture machines... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1969768 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:52:02 +0000 Espion 1969768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That's awesome! (I've had my eye out for a serger too. What I would really love is a machine that can serge <i>and</i> coverstitch, but they are super pricy. Check craigslist, because sergers seem to be one of those things that people buy, can't figure out how to thread, then try to sell within 6 months...)</p> <p>I'm inspired to make sheets that have deeper pockets than the ones we already have. The store bought ones are such a PITA to put on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1969753 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:29:55 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1969753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: We made ones that only have elastic on the corners and it works great! Just FYI. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1969738 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:15:23 +0000 blackbird 1969738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I totally made one today! It takes forever to thread the elastic! </p> [attach=618/14/ng14lo.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968864 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 10:28:42 +0000 autumnlove 1968864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool...I need to go to the fabric store!

Yeah I hate all the extra seams and rough edges on the clothes I make her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968694 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 08:25:12 +0000 avivoca 1968694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I don't have a serger. I want one but they terrify me. I'm thinking about asking for one for our anniversary this year because I love the way serged seams look and I want to try to make my own underwear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968669 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 07:41:52 +0000 Bubbles 1968669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made LOs sheets, it was so easy, probs one of the easiest things I've ever sewed. I just used a zigzag stitch to enclose the raw edges inside the corners, or you could use a French seam if you don't have a serger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968666 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 07:35:48 +0000 blackbird 1968666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: do you have a serger you'd recommend? I've been wanting one for awhile </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968660 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 07:22:15 +0000 blackbird 1968660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awww i would love for E to have some holiday sheets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968644 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 06:11:54 +0000 Dandelion 1968644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is inspriring me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968631 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 04:52:46 +0000 maddyz 1968631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made some sheets for our Moses basket. That was a little complicated because it's rounded. I did it by tracing the mattress. I like how it turned out. I think I will try to make some fill size crib sheets too. Cute ones are so pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968570 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 23:28:34 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1968570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easiest project ever. Go for it! And i didn't measure at all, just made some marks on the fabric with the mattress on top of it, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1968555 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 23:05:02 +0000 JennyD 1968555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally did! Easy. But I chose to ignore the dimensions provided and the one sheet was a bit tight... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1967469 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 12:21:10 +0000 bhbee 1967469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom sewed them for both LOs. she is a better sewer than me but said it was easy. she changed this somehow to use less elastic but that isn't a necessary modification.</p> <p><a href="http://www.sew4home.com/projects/bed-linens/michael-miller-fabrics-citron-gray-nursery-fitted-crib-sheet" rel="nofollow">http://www.sew4home.com/projects/bed-linens/michael-miller-fabrics-citron-gray-nursery-fitted-crib-sheet</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-a-crib-sheet#post-1967424 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 12:05:25 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1967424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom made a couple for me also.

Having a serger would make things even easier, but you can do it without one.
