Does anyone know how to make bed sheets? Fitted as well as flat. My little
grandson wants some Thomas the Train sheets, and has fallen in love with the
fabric already. But I have no idea where to begin. No, it can't be a
quilt, it has to be sheets. His parents want to help him be more willing to
sleep in his own big bed by making it feel very kid-friendly. Quilts
travel... lol.
TIA,

Is he in a toddler bed or a full sized twin bed? I made sheets for my
youngest son's toddler bed. Let me see if I can find the pattern. It is
not difficult to do at all, I just don't remember the measurements right
now. I'll get back to you. (BTW I think some of the PS I Love you books
have the instructions if you have any of those quilt books)

The dimensions of his mattress at Daddy's house is 27" x 51" x 5". I'll be
receiving the measurements of his mattress at Mommy's house soon. I want to
order all the fabric for both sets of sheets at the same time.

This is probably an over-simplification - but you could make a pillowcase
the size of what would be the bottom sheet. It would be easy to make, easy
to put on and just might stay put if he sleeps like a helicopter propeller.

LOL - oh yes, that's exactly how he sleeps. Perhaps at $10.95 a yd. I
should go for the fitted sheet idea. But this is a good plan for future kid
sheets. Thanks!
