good idea

buy the larger sheets and them make them like a pillow case to SLIP over the mattress....and then snap closed on the open end...this is what I did when I had a custom made bed and could not find sheets to fit it at all....worked like a dream...

due to the fact that fleece is a polyester it will not breathe like cotton does..so the body can not regulate its own temp under it..
also it is made strictly from chemicals (polyurethane)..not the best thing to put a baby on that has not had time to adapt to things and it could trigger allergies...

I agree with this. I've seen lots of sheets at thirft stores for very little money.

I use flannel

Ok. Well, I guess I will take a trip to the thrift store. Was just hoping to be able to use the neat novetly prints for sheets, but sounds like it might be easier to just modify larger sheets.
Love the idea for flannel and fully intend to make some for winter. We live in a mobile home (otherwise known as a craphole trailer) and it gets very cold in the winter.
Thanks ladies for all your input. Can always count on you!

OK now my interest is peaked. Where do you find 116"wide batik?
