Do-It-Yourself Toddler Bed Sheets

2/16/2013

We really love our flannel sheets during the cold winter months.  We had flannel sheets on every bed in the house except our toddler bed.  I searched online and in several stores for toddler bed flannel sheets with no luck.  Finally, I decided to try making them myself and it was much easier than I thought it would be.  I am by no means an expert seamstress and I managed to put together a pretty good set of sheets.  If you have access to a sewing machine and can sew a straight line, you can handle this do-it-yourself project.  

To make this sewing project even easier, I purchased a flannel crib sheet on Amazon for the bottom sheet.  All I had to do was make a simple top sheet and a pillow case.  I already had some flannel I had purchased for baby gifts on sale a couple of years ago and never used, so I put it to good use.  I didn't take any notes as I was making the sheets, but I think 3 yards of fabric should be plenty for a top sheet and a pillow case.  
Top Sheet Instructions:
Picture
I used a toddler bed sheet as a pattern and left room at each end to turn the fabric under and make a nice hem.  I used the entire width of the fabric b/c I needed all of it to make the sheet wide enough.  This was nice because I only had to cut one end of the fabric.  
Picture
Next I turned under each side and pinned them in place.  My hem is very small here so that I could get as much width as possible.  
Picture
Then I sewed the hem in place removing the pins as I went.  
Picture
I sewed the sides first and then the ends, leaving a larger hem on the ends.  Top sheet complete. 
Pillowcase Instructions:
Picture
I used a standard pillowcase as a pattern to cut the fabric for the pillowcase.  Fold the fabric before cutting and you only have to cut and sew three sides of the pillowcase.  
Picture
When you cut the fabric for the pillowcase, cut it slightly larger than the pattern pillowcase on three sides and a lot larger on one end so that you can make a nice hemmed edge on the open end.  
Picture
Turn under and sew a nice wide hem on the end of the fabric where the pillowcase opening will be.  
Picture
After you have made the hem for the opening of the pillowcase, pin the side and end that still need to be sewn.  Make sure to put right sides together.  Sew the end and side.  Turn pillowcase right side out and then you are done.

Thank you for the inspiration and directions. I was just shopping for toddler bedding the other day and not finding what I wanted. I never thought to make my own... until now!
