How to Make a Crib Sheet

This video shows you step by step how to make and sew and crib sheet for a standard crib mattress or toddler bed. This is a great diy project for your baby nursery! My daughter loves pink and she needed more sheets, so I decided to make her a sheet from a lovely Anna Maria Horner voile fabric.

Materials
2 yards fabric (at least 44 inches wide) 100% Cotton is great! Mine is Voile. Prewash.
78 inches of 1/4 inch elastic
tape measure
thread
scissors or rotary blade
pins
iron
sewing machine

Standard crib mattress is 52 x 27 x 6
adjust your measurements if your crib is not this size.

Cut your fabric 67 inches by 44/45 inches.
Cut out an 8 inch square in each corner as shown in the video
Right sides together, sew the corners of the sheet and finish the seam with a zig zag
Iron and stitch around the outside of the sheet to create a casing for the elastic
Sew the casing closed to the folded edge leaving a 1 inch space
Using a safety pin, thread the elastic through the casing
Attach the 2 ends of the elastic with a zig zag stitch.
Close the 1 inch gap on the casing
