Do you ever do just the corners with elastic? I have an extra long twin on a frame that es uses and lowers. Don’t know if that makes a difference as to how to make a fitted sheet, but I really don’t want to sew elastic all the way around the perimeter. Thanks for any help.
@diannaleigh9914 you can stitch a hem around the sheet, then stitch the amount of elastic you want onto the fabric in the corners while stretching the elastic.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts ms Valrine, I have one doubt why we multiply by 2 ? Base of matress 100" Right side drop 10" Left side drop. 10" Right side elastic hem 1.5" Left side elastic hem 1.5" Total - 123" /39.37 = 3.12 mtrs.
@dineshthanvi3947 When you are looking to find a fraction of a number, you multiply by the top number of the fraction, then divide sum by the bottom number to get your answer.
Hi Valrine thank you so much so far. Pls i want to understand why did you multiplied 130 by 2, Even 126 was also multiplied into 2. So i got a little confused.
The 130" is for vertical joins. The 126" is for horizontal joins. In both cases, you will need two widths of fabric. That is why you will need to multiply by 2. If you are doing vertical joins, you do not need to concern yourself with the 126". Please let me know if this helps.
The seam you use to join the panels is a matter of choice {flat felled or open, french .. ). I generally use a Flat open or felled seam, depending, either can be strong enough for you, depending on the use of your articles. Your choice of fabric, thread length of stitch and type of stitch are also important.
I am so glad I have come across this channel you have shown clearly how to make sure you have enough fabric for a project. I have always been scared on how to buy fabric when I want to buy fabrics so I will definitely know how to measure my projects
🙏Thank you so much for your kind words. Comments like yours are beyond encouraging and satisfying. This is why I do what I do. Thanks also for watching my video lessons! Bless you. 🥰
Hi Valerie, tell if am correct please, so therefore if u don't want to join with panels a my bed is 76" width depth 8" and 80" length ,my calculations is to add 76+76+80+80 +depth× 4 to get how many yards I hv to purchase for a fitted and flat sheet am I correct or wrong asking to know .
@lilynelson If you do not want to join panels, buy fabric that is more than the 76" width of your bed. To get the number of yardage, add the length of the mattress (80") + two times the depth of the mattress (2×8=16") + two times your allowance for the wrap under (2×?) Then, divide your total by 36"
This really answered my question too but I'm wondering is this also covering the depths towards the head side of the bed? I'm not seeing that measurement
Oli thanks for watching and also for your question! Yes it does mention it, check out the video again. It is mentioned just about 2:02 into the video . Let me know if you have anymore questions. Appreciate you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bnvrVWpupuo.html
Thanks for the video . I would have liked to see you actually cut and sew a fitted sheet. I am replacing a flannel fitted sheet. I have the top sheet but not the bottom and only 1 pillow case. Hard to find as they are real cotton flannel black sheets. I had a difficult time finding. So I have decided to make my own. Many Thanks🦋
This is kinda of puzzling me Valerie, my bed is width 76" ,length 80" and depth 8", so I don't want to join I want by enough fabric so how do I calculate mines ,please help me please . Thank you
Buy sheeting or double width fabric, you will not need to join panels. In this case take the length, plus twice the depth, plus increments for the double hem. Then divide the total by 36 to get the yardage.
