Can you see how I'm illustrating it? I measured 5" down either side of each corner seam. Then I connected those two spots with a 2.5" piece of elastic. Now there's a kind of "hood" that slips over the corner of the mattress. It took me about 10 minutes to fix that sheet.
And when I looked up from the clothesline, I saw the scarlet bush. Flaming beautiful. I've lived in this house eight years and I don't remember noticing this bush before. I want to look around more carefully, with more appreciation.

That is such a great idea! Thankx for sharing it! Most of our old sheets become slips and P.J.s etc. I used sheets to back the boy's quilts too...but there are some sheets that are just perfect for a certain room - now I can prolong their life : )
Sometimes we see things so often we forget to really look at them, beautiful bush, such an intense shade.
Good tip about the fitted sheets.....I hate when fitted sheets go walk-about when you're trying to get your beauty sleep.

The bush is gorgeous! And I like your practical, simple fix for fitted sheets.
Wonderful tip! I have a corner sliding up over the bed as I type this. Would it wake the Hubs, do you think, if I got out my needle and thread to fix it?
