How to make a quilt for twin bed Videos

+BARBARA m Awesome Barbara! Thanks so much for the share!

+Liong Linawaty - I'm not sure...this video is for teaching how to modify an already sewn sheet. I'd check online for standard bed and sheet sizes to find the right dimensions.

I think it's possible, but I would run this idea by the customer first to make sure she likes the idea of a seam running down the center. Nope, I don't have access to wider Monster Truck fabric. I'm betting that's going to be a novelty print that's only available in 44" wide yardage.

So a customer brought monster truck fabric for you to make sheets? It's probably more designed to be the center section of a quilt. If they are insistent on it becoming sheets, I would stitch the pieces down the center, then overlock or zigzag to finish the raw edge, then fold it to one side and top stitch twice down the middle to secure it in place. Use thread that matches in color as close as you can and it will look pretty good and won't feel too rough on the wrong side.

You really don't want to seam two pieces of fabric together to make a top sheet. You will always have a seam down the middle and it will be distracting against your skin at night. Length is determined by how many yards (36") you buy. 105 inches / 36 = 2.9 yards so just buy three yards of extra wide fabric.

Twin sheets measure 70" x 105" so you will need to find extra wide fabric (75 inches minimum) and get 3 yards.

+Sara Fulkerson- Sorry, it's been years since I made this video. It's actually 3/8 inch elastic or I suppose 1/4 could work too.

+Leah Day Thank you!  I was unsure.  I thought the seam was 1/2 and, since the elastic was narrow compared to it, I assumed it was 1/4.  I'm making 5 of these (one for each child), so I want to make sure I get it right!

I like 1/2 inch woven elastic for this project.

overlap the ends of the elastic?, I didn't get that part,  so you put one big elastic all around the sheet or how are you gonna overlap the ends?. anyway  I did as you recommend ( adding the elastic later ) and it work very well. Thank you for the tip :)  

Exactly :-) Then just overlap the ends of the elastic, sew them together, and close the opening.

+Rachel Crosby so do you leave a little opening in the seam at the mark where the elastic suppose to go?

Was looking for making the bed from scratch. I pull on the comforter and it pulls the blankets and sheet underneath with it. Anther video gave me the idea of tucking them further up towards the pillow. That should hold them.

this is lame!! i was looking for a video on how to make your bed look like in the magazines, and this is just useless. i mean, making a simple bed is pretty self explanatory...

ok does everyone one agree 50percent of these people were looking for a perfect bed instead of a sloppy one and the other half is either dumb or in love with leslie

so where are the pillows? Did she hide them under the bed or something. lol Who needs a video to teach you how to throw a blanket on a bed. This made me laugh.

Ever notice how statements that start out with "Everyone knows..." almost always end up being wrong? I thought everyone knew that...

I feel like I know everything now, this is the only thing that I did not know. Now I can conquer the world!!

bet she makes my hotel room comforter when i leave for office. It looks exact same way.thx

so, in between which of those three sheets do you sleep in? i'm so new to this

She looks nice in that maid's outfit. If you know what I mean (wink, wink).

then i'll be your first expandable henchmen who probably doesnt get payed

+ajames I'm so glad!!! Your wonderful handmade gift will be appreciated. It is wonderful that you found the video and it was helpful. Happy Sewing - Cindy

+Crisanne Pyne I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Another good reason to go the fabric store - I LOVE that! Happy Sewing - Cindy

+Katie Pierce Hi Katie - It might work putting elastic only in the corners, but I like the safety factor of having the elastic all the way around holding the sheet really snug to the mattress. Truthfully - on this project I wouldn't mind a twist or two as I work the elastic around the sheet. It is very narrow elastic and we don't need to worry about having a "lumpy" twist of elastic. I like the way you think!! Happy Sewing - Cindy

+Shazma Sajid Hi Shazma - Thank you! It comes with years of practice!!! Although if you follow the directions step by step it should be an easy project for you too! Happy Sewing - Cindy

+Pickle Jean Hi Pickle Jean - It is one of those things ... 45" wide fabric (what it has always been called) has universally decreased to be between 42 to 43 inches. This tutorial has taken that into consideration and you are OK. So glad you enjoyed the tutorial - Happy Sewing - Cindy
