Determine the size
Standard sizes of mattresses will be useful to select the sheet size
When buying a question arises, how to choose the sheets with an elastic band on the size of the mattress. It is necessary to know the parameters of a berth: width, length, height.
Key measurements for pattern sheets
The first two values - the distance between the tops sewn corners. Now we determine their height. Sheet must be completely round the mattress and the side of a little below. Therefore, when bed height 17 cm corner length should be approximately 20-25 cm. After assembly hide from the bottom, thus creating the effect of a cover, for what and need extra centimeters. The label is not always specified height. Measure it. the absence of this indicator is often in the stores to explain the fact that the product is universal. Yet such sheets differently, "sit down" at a height of 15 and 22 cm. It should keep this in mind when choosing.

choose material
Tension sheets produced from various kinds of cotton or other fabric: calico, sateen, poplin, cotton, jersey, terry
Preferred natural materials. Traditionally, this calico, satin. They can withstand repeated washing, perfectly absorb moisture, easy to care for. In satin richer and brighter color palette, calico retains heat. There are models made of cotton jersey or soft terry cloth. With a diversity of materials is to choose those which include those of 100% cotton and has a low content of synthetic fibers up to 3%.
Satin sheets with an elastic band are self-colored and with different prints
In rubberized products for special purposes percentage of natural fibers will be significantly lower.
small flaw
Valet tension sheets on an ironing board
The assembly does not allow poutyuzhit quality product, so the sheets with an elastic band around the perimeter often sewn from creasing terry cloth or knitted. But you can pat. Left hand pull the sheet under the ironing table, squaring assembly poutyuzhte. It's not as fast, but doable. So do not be afraid of cotton goods with an elastic band around the perimeter.
Such products can not be boiled, as will be ruined thin rubber veins. There is one drawback - it is difficult to fold.
sew themselves
Once decided on the cloth, you can start removing size bed and the calculation of the size of the fabric pieces
Happens, you can not find a suitable product. Then you can sew. Take into account that the tissue in the shop have a width of 150 cm. This means that on the mattress 160x200 will not be able to stitch the sheets from one single piece. In this case, you need to buy two lengths.
Before you begin to sew the sheets - is necessary to make the pattern for a specific mattress
The values for the calculation:
- length 200 cm;
- height, such as 20 cm;
- allowance required for rounding the bottom - 4 cm;
- the seam allowance - 1 cm.
200 + 20 + 4 + 1 = 225 cm. 225h2 = 4.5 m.
Now we sew the parts along the edge of a conventional suture. Linen and zaposhivochny joints stronger and thicker but can cause discomfort during sleep. The result was a large rectangle with a seam in the middle of the desired length, including all the necessary allowances. Its dimensions: 225h300.
We define width similar length: 160 + 20 + 4 + 1 = 185 cm.
We have a seam in the middle. From the seam on both sides save half the calculated value. The resulting parts 225h185 cm corners cut off and the excess. We believe: 20 cm - height of the mattress, 4 and 1 cm - allowances. 20 + 4 + 1 = 25 cm. But we need to leave 1 cm for stitching, so cut out the squares of side 24 cm. Done.
First, cut off from each corner of the fabric square of side 24 cm
Fold slices underside inside. Sew seam of 7 mm in width. Now, gut-wrenching corners on the front side, straighten their arms.
Impose one side of the resulting square to another (face-to-face), stitched by
On the front side is formed Area
Sews stitch has a width of 1 cm. The result was a traditional linen stitch. Along the perimeter of the sheets sew gum 1-2 cm wide, superimposing it on the front side of the material and slightly pulling.
Now, the width of the sheets do kuliske grabbing a bit length
The formed threaded kuliske clothesline gum
Gum anchoring edge
Turns away gum inside out and pave another line. Done. Sections can be pre-press them inside out twice at 1 cm. Then gum, cross-linked into a ring, resulting in investing allowance, is sewn on the fabric at the fold 12 mm, leaving a small opening nezashitym.
The remaining open edge of the length and just folded the otstrachivaem
This treatment is good when using narrow gum, as it is more susceptible to elongation during operation. After a free area it can loosen or tighten.
Sheets with an elastic band on the reverse side
Our self-made sheets on the mattress looks great and does not go away during sleep
Gum only at the corners. We need four pieces of the elastic band 30 cm long. On each of the crosslinked parts in both sides of the seam mark put at a distance of 20 cm therebetween sew gum. Process the slices on the perimeter, bending the fabric twice to 1 cm, paving the line.
