I was wondering if any one here has ever made their own sheets... fitted sheets mainly, the flat sheet is a no brainer, I have this fabric that I am going to use to make two pillowcases from, and I'd like to make a sheet set that went with it. It's just purple with dots.

I'll be doing the sheets in plain purple.

Thanks!

It was given to me by one of the women on here, I have a total of 2-yards... I think... i'm not sure... try www.fabric.com they are run by the same people who run Amazon. I was looking for this fabric there since I need a lot more of it for the back of a quilt (I have the top). I might ask on here if any one has more of it.

I've only made sheets sets for my DGD's doll bed! It wasn't too hard since it's small! I think it'd be cheaper to buy already made if you can get them on sale! Good luck!!

my concern would be if you have to seam it together. I know I could never sleep on a seamed sheet. That would make my fibromyalgia flare for sure!
