How to sew a fitted sheet



NEWLY UPDATED PDF   8/16/2020


If you'd like to learn to make your own fitted sheets then download my Easy PDF pattern for FREE right HERE.


Yes--make those sheets from your FAVORITE FABRIC!






Standard-size quilting cotton works GREAT, however I do love the ease of extra wide back quilting cotton or sateen cotton--it's extra smooth and silky feeling.

All you have to do is make sure to MEASURE accurately --both your bed mattress, and then the fabric you are cutting.

I walk you through each step. 
There are lots of diagrams & photos to help keep things extra clear.






Supplies you will need depends on the size of the mattress you're covering.


Basically--- lots of fabric, 1 yd 1/4" elastic, safety pins, a sewing machine, (serging is faster but you don't have to do this), and some patience. 



By the way--- I now make mine with NO elastic. (I've used it all on masks!) The sheets are all perfect, they fit snuggly and wash up perfectly.






















I can't wait to see your sheets.

  1. I am so thrilled about finding this tutorial, Natalie!! I'm in a year-long "use up some of that revoltingly giant stash" commitment, so I hope I can do the sheet thing. I don't have wide-backs, so I'm gonna have to wake up with a crease on my face every morning, but it'll be worth it!! hahaa!
