for the parents out there, i'm sure you can understand the joy when
one of your children sleeps through the night with no "accidents".
Well, DD has made it a week and we promised that she would get a big
girl bed, so......

in addition to school clothes and such, I'm going to be hunting up
directions for making sheets for a twin bed. We bought 2 sets that
coordinate with her room, but I like the children to have at least 3
regular cotton sets and 1 flannel since they still sometimes spill
water in the beds and what not.

If anybody can point me to a good link with directions for making
sheets, it would be greatly appreciated. I have toddler bedding
committed to memory already, but obviously that won't work for a twin.

Thanks bunches!!

Whoo hoo! Now THERE'S a milestone - and a Right of Passage! I have pix
of James 'sanding' his bed down when he got the 'proper' bed after the cot!

I just bought fitted sheets for the matress, but made the duvet covers
and pillow cases, even going to the bother of stenciling the same clowns
on them that I'd stencilled on the Roman Blind and the walls!

Here's a neat site with all sorts of bedding and other sorf furnishing
ideas and instructions: >

Larisa, congratulations on your daughter's achieving a real
milestone! I posted this link here last fall:
http://interiordec.about.com/cs/beds/l/blbedsizes.htm

That gives standard mattress sizes, you'll have to add the
mattress depth to figure size and yardage for twin-sizes
sheets.

There are fitted plastic sheets to fit under the cloth sheets in case of an
"accident" during the night, or an accident of spilling a glass of juice.

Thank you all!! I'm going to be repacking some of the stash and such
to try and get things organized for making sheets. I suppose I'll
have to make some for DS as well, but he also has a twin bed....think
it's a twin extra long, though.

I have bookmarked these sites and will give a more detailed look in
the morning. Hopefully I can sit at my desk instead of in the
recliner - I fell and busted my left knee, shin, and foot which makes
sitting rather difficult tonight.
