I work for one of Austalias best bedding companies , so Have lots of goodies come in , some real bargains at times I can tell you I have whole quilts made from sheets ,use them all the time , but I always per- wash all sheets , they have a sizing in them and they sew better without it .
I say go for it .

I go to estate sales, etc. with this purpose in mind. People usually pass them up. I always buy the ones still in the package. Got 6 of them this summer at $2.00 each. I have about 20 saved. Now for the time to make tops for them. :)
