I absolutely love that crib sheet in the picture. Red is my favorite color.

So, I have an oval Stokke crib. Can anyone help me sew a sheet for the oval shaped mattress? I can't find help with this anywhere!

Sabika- jaime from prudent baby here. i'm jealous you ahve the oval crib! what you want to do is cut a piece of fabric that is the shape of your oval but about 12-14" wider (to account for the 3" depth of the mattress on each side and a few inches for the overlap under your sheet, then fold the inside edge of your oval in 1/4" and iron, then fold it another 3/4" and iron and pin, then sew it all the way around but leave a hole so you can thread elastic through. Cut a piece of 3/4" elastic and thread it through the hole with a safety pin, pull it snug enough to stay on your sheet, and then sew the elastic to itself, then close the hole. simple oval crib sheet!

the other option if you don't want to see gathers on the side of your mattress is to cut two ovals the size of your mattress with an extra 1/2", then cut a 4" strip of fabric the length of the diameter of your mattress and sew it to one of the ovals right sides facing with a 1/2" seam allowance. Turn the other oval into a donut by cutting out the center, sew it to your strip right sides facing, turn the whole sheet rightside out, then repeat the steps above to get the elastic in there.... if that doesnt make sense you can email me jaime@prudentbaby.com and i'll try to explain better!
