DIY Pack 'N Play Sheet Tutorial
This sheet fits my Combi Jazz Play Yard
"mattress" which is pretty standard and measures 36" X 26.5" (they're all around 30"x40"), but the sheet is forgiving so if yours is within the general ballpark this sheet should work fine.1. Wash, dry and cut your fabric. Add 7 inches to the length and to the width of your mattress, so i cut a piece of fabric 43" X 33.5". And a piece of 3/4" elastic 60" long.
2. Fold it in half lengthwise and then widthwise so it looks like this:
On the outside corner, the one with no folds, cut a 3.5" square through all the layers.
Your item now looks like this:
3. Line up the cut edges at one corner and sew them together with right sides facing:
Repeat on all four corners.
4. Along the bottom of your sheet, fold the fabric 1/4" to the inside and iron, then 1" and iron, and pin in place.
Starting next to a corner, sew all the way around with a straight stitch, leaving a hole and backstitching and the beginning and end.
5. Thread your piece of 3/4" elastic through the hole and all the way around. It helps to pin one side of it to an ironing board or some other surface and to use a safety pin to feed it through:
Pull it out and sew both sides together with a stretch stitch or a zig zag stitch.
Close the hole by sewing across the opening with a straight stitch.
You're done!
It looks like this from the bottom:
