"luvinthemommyhood.com" crib sheet tutorial
Something to watch out for with the tutorial: It says that your 2 yards of fabric should be 45" wide, but at JoAnn's, all I saw were 43" and 44" fabrics. I bought a 44" and it was still wide enough for the sheet, thank goodness. Definitely buy the fabric on sale, or with a coupon, or you won't save any money by making your own.
Also, the tutorial says you can leave your seams raw if you don't have a serger, but my seams started unraveling the minute I finished my casings for the elastic. It was a mess. I ended up putting "Fray Check" on everything, and sewing my heart out until I felt like it was going to stay. I would try a zig-zag stitch over all of the raw edges next time. So needless to say, the sewing I did was not very pretty. But, it worked! Proof it fit the mattress:
And he's been sleeping on it ever since. :)
So cute, I need to try my hand at making crib sheets!
