I have made my sheets for a while I got sick of fighting over the top sheet. I have a store that sells sheeting fabric and make the whole set, but you have to buy a good thread count or you will wear them out quick. We never fight over the the sheets now.

I have a couple of sheets that need the elastic replaced, have bought the elastic but not sure how much to stretch!!!

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. The kids like to have the character sheets but the top sheet, in the package, is worthless....too narrow and short to tuck under so it usually just ends up in a ball while they sleep. I finally just stopped even putting them on the bed. Now I know what I'll be doing with those extra top sheets!!! :thumbup:

Believe me, I don't normally get involved in what goes on behind closed doors of married (or unmarried) couples, but
what pray tell does hubby use to keep warm in the winter that doesn't get wrapped around his legs.
I apologize, but this "inquiring mind wants to know" LOL
