Fitted sheets are a convenient and comfortable addition to any bed. They stay in place all night, even if you toss and turn, and they come in a wide variety of colors and patterns to match any décor. If you're looking for a way to improve your sleep, a fitted sheet is a great place to start.

Making a fitted sheet for a queen size bed is a simple process that can be completed in just a few hours. With a little patience and some basic sewing skills, you can create a custom-fitted sheet that will fit your bed perfectly.

Here are the essential steps on how to make a fitted sheet for a queen size bed:

Gather your materials.
You will need the following materials to make a fitted sheet:
- 7 yards of fabric
- Thread
- Needle
- Elastic
- Measuring tape
Measure the mattress.
The first step is to measure the mattress to determine how much fabric you will need. To do this, measure the length, width, and depth of the mattress. Add 6 inches to the length and width measurements, and 4 inches to the depth measurement.
Cut the fabric.
Once you have the measurements, you can cut the fabric. Cut two pieces of fabric, each measuring the length and width of the mattress plus 6 inches. Then, cut four pieces of fabric, each measuring the depth of the mattress plus 4 inches.
Sew the side seams.
Pin the two large pieces of fabric together along the side seams, right sides facing. Sew the seams using a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
Attach the elastic.
Cut four pieces of elastic, each measuring 72 inches long. Pin the elastic to the wrong side of the fabric, along the top and bottom edges of the fitted sheet. Stretch the elastic as you sew it in place, using a zigzag stitch.
Hem the fitted sheet.
Fold the raw edges of the fitted sheet over by 1/2 inch and press. Fold the edges over again by 1/2 inch and press again. Sew the hem in place using a blind stitch.
Enjoy your new fitted sheet.
Your fitted sheet is now complete! Put it on your bed and enjoy the comfort.
