After many requests, I'm finally sharing how to sew a cot sheet for a baby bed. A fitted crib sheet makes a great baby shower or new baby gift and they are easily personalised and make such a statement in a nursery. This sewing tutorial is beginner friendly so I hope you have a go at making one for yourself!
Let's get making!

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
Welcome to My Mum Makes! I’ve started this channel as a creative outlet to share my sewing projects online. I’ve loved to sew since my Mum taught me as a little girl and I find it relaxing, productive and fun. I love the chance to make things for my kids, myself and our home and I want you to feel motivated to give sewing a try and get creative. I think creativity is good for us especially as Mums. We can get so stuck in our everyday repetition, but spending some me-time creating something is a great way to unwind, prioritise our needs and use our brains in a different way to the everyday. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @mymummakes.marie to see more of what I’m up to.
GET TO KNOW US:
* Where are you from? South Australia
* What sewing machine do you use? Janome DC2150 - would definitely recommend Janome, can’t go wrong.

Loved your french seams

Excellent tutorial

@febeleven 8 месяцев назад

Your way of doing the elastic to the bed sheet is so much easier than others that stretch the elastic as they sew. Thank You!

@MyMumMakes 7 месяцев назад

Good I'm glad this was helpful. Yes stretch and sew is a bit fiddly especially with so much fabric to be wrestling with.

@sharondraffin7857 2 года назад

Your videos are great for grandmom’s too!

@MyMumMakes 2 года назад

Oh yes most definitely! From my audience analytics the age demographic is watching my videos is pretty evenly split between the 25-35 year olds and the 55-65 year olds. Glad you enjoyed the video

@mick14jah Год назад

thank you , you make the steps easy to follow for a beginner

@MyMumMakes Год назад

@Rona_Davis 2 года назад

Another great tutorial, I'm going to try making a sheet for my adjustable bed as most sheets just ping off when it moves will share my results with you 💖🏵️🇬🇧

@MyMumMakes 2 года назад

Sounds like they might need to be longer down the height of the mattress. Good luck and yes let me know how it goes

@sewamazing4498 2 года назад

Great video!!!

@MyMumMakes 2 года назад

Thanks

@cyclemad-e 2 года назад

I love your practical fun videos for family-based sewing projects, thanks Marie. But when I add the elastic to the cot fitted sheet, it is about 0.5m too long - is the elastic really supposed to be 2.3m?

@MyMumMakes 2 года назад

I'm glad you like the videos. Yes my elastic really was 2.3m but maybe yours has a lot more stretch to it than mine? I'm not sure. If it's working for you with shorter elastic though that would be fine

@dannisworld3169 Год назад

Can you please do a video on simply measuring and cutting large pieces out of the fabric, mine always seems to go wrong 😢

@MyMumMakes Год назад

It can be very tricky working with large pieces of fabric for sure. Usually I would put it on the floor to spread it out and use an erasable fabric marker to draw in where I need to cut first then remeasure it where I've drawn the lines before cutting. I've written your idea on my list for making into a RU-vid short next time I have a big piece of fabric to cut out

@DistortedLinds 2 года назад

i'm assuming this is a generic one size fits all baby crib mattresses? thank you! great tutorials as usual xox

@MyMumMakes 2 года назад

It would fit a standard size crib mattress, yes. Glad you're enjoying all these baby related videos!

@susankimati-lana8051 Год назад

Thank you for the nice video. How did you calculate the length of the elastic??

@MyMumMakes Год назад

I put the elastic through the first time and tried it on our mattress. I adjusted it to the right tension and then took the elastic out to measure it for future use. I hope that helps

@angeladevine3218 Год назад

Could you tell me how you worked out how much elastic you would need for the fitted sheet?

@MyMumMakes Год назад

I just put it through the case with the end left out, then put it over the mattress and fiddled with the elastic until it was the right tightness. Then take it out and measure it if you want to know how long for next time.

@angeladevine3218 Год назад

I made my first out of 3 cot sheets today. I have one mini to make too. as my matress for the crib is modular

@MyMumMakes Год назад

@@angeladevine3218 let me know if you have any other questions, I'm here to help 😊

@angeladevine3218 Год назад

Thank you for the help. I made two taggy toys from your channel too. I have just finished cutting out my next three sheets with one mini fitted sheet. I will have to pick out more fabric for the mini fitted sheet. I am making my sheets for the gaia baby modular mattress it is a smidgen rounded on the corner in comparison to the traditional cot mattress, but it still works out well.

@MyMumMakes Год назад

@@angeladevine3218 that sounds great! Sounds like it would be a bit tricky if the corners were too rounded so I'm glad to hear it's still working with the normal square corners. And taggy toys are always a winner!
