Is it easy to make a fitted sheet do you think?
I found this fabric (3 yards, I don't even know if that would be enough) for DS's toddler bed.
Can I make them (I don't sew) or does someone know someone who could make them?
TIA

should be easy enough. but if you don't feel comfortable cutting/sewing, I would probably sew it while it's on the actual mattress for a perfect
You could also place the fabric on the mattress and use those clips for sheets so that they don't move and criss cross them. It'll stay in place that way too.
if you don't understand what I'm writing, let me know! lol

You could always make it into a quilt? or cut up the fabric and frame the pieces and turn it into wall art? or even add batting to wooden letters and cover it with the fabric?
Just a few ideas for you!

1 yd=3ft
be careful doing this I don't want to be the downer here, but if its not completly secure your child might be able to pull the fabric loose and get all caught up in the material..
I'd buy the fabric, your going to get 9ft of it, and its probally around 52" width.. bring it to a local seemstess with the measurments of the mattress and it shouldn't cost more the $30 for them to sew the correct elastic around it so theres no mishaps
