got the tutorial here:
http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/...ed-sheets.html
very simple. the only issue i have is, they call for 45" (x 2 yards,) fabric, i could not even find seersucker in 45" widths.
i ended up using quilters cotton..
i have left the 1/4" elastic pinned at the ends, until i can get to my daughters to try it on her crib, before i do the final sewing up.I sure hope it will fit! if not, no matter, i cn make it into something else! no waste here!
:thumbup:
i also would not cut all 4 ends at the sme time again.(they show you how to fold it, so you can just make one 8" cut,for the corners)...for some reason they were not equal..
so i would cut each corner out,seperatly next time.
(if it fits!)

thanks! i was lucky to find the bigger patterned fabric,that matched, at JoAnns.
i will let you know if it fits or not. and then we can adjust from there. since it is for a baby shower sunday,i want to be sure!
i even have a half yard to make a couple of burp cloths to match! lol
