Homemade Crib Sheets

I made two crib sheets yesterday.  I like to do a lot of DIY projects, but making crib sheets was something I had never thought of doing.  However, when I tried to use a sheet we already had, it just didn’t fit the new mattress for Janna’s crib.  It actually made the mattress bow.

So, I decided to make my own.  Now, I not only have two sheets that fit the mattress, but they also coordinate with the crib skirt and valance I made last week.

I used the crib sheet pattern that came in the pattern I used for the crib skirt.  Vogue 7245 Nursery Accessories

As you can see I used a white with red polka dot fabric that is the opposite of the crib skirt fabric. I also made a plain red sheet.

I did find a tutorial for making a crib sheet that I would have used if I hadn’t already had a pattern for one. The tutorial can be found at Make Baby Stuff.
