Can flat sheets be made into fitted sheets?

You could knot the corners .Idid that and it stayed in place better than a fitted one?Can flat sheets be made into fitted sheets?
Yes, but it would be easier to just buy fitted sheets. Flat sheets are actually ';fitted'; in the sense that they come in particular sizes for different size beds. The fitted ones have elasticized corners to ';fit'; over the corner of the mattress. You can fold a flat sheet so that it stays under the corner or sew the ends into a fold that fits over the corners.Can flat sheets be made into fitted sheets?
yes you can, put the sheet on your bed and pin the corners of the sheet into the shape of your matteres, take it off and sew elastic on the inside of the sheet ensuring it has enough strech in it to go over the matteres and stay in place firmly, trim the excess sheet but make sure there is enough to fold over the elastic and sew in place.


hope this helps.
Some bedding stores sell a set of 4 elastics with fasteners on each end like the ones used to hold up nylon stockings. We got a new bed which has the deeper mattress, and the old fitted sheets don't stretch over it now, so I find they work very well for me. If you don't want to change them every time you change the sheets, you could get wide elastic at the fabric store and just sew it on the sheets so it will go under the mattress far enough to keep them in place.
