Good Questions: Similar Sheets in Twin Size?

7-31-twinsheet-question.jpgJessica sent us an email: "Dear AT, I searched high and low for a delicate floral pattern bedding set and, lo and behold, found this set at Target. Unfortunately, the set does not come in Twin, which is what I need. Does anyone know of a similar set that is available in Twin size? It would really pull my guest room together! Many thanks,
Jessica"

These are the Waverly Metro Simplicity Sheets. If you're looking for a delicate floral pattern, we'd try places that are sure to have twin size sheets — IKEA, PBTeen, The Company Store. Does anyone have other alternatives?

Why not just buy two flat sheets and cut them down? You might not need to even cut them.

Perhaps not sheets, but this duvet cover from Gaiam Living is amazing and has been a favorite of mine for a while... not the prices of IKEA and Target though!

what is the name of that sheet set? i can't seem to find it at target.com and it's beautiful!
sadly, all the options i can think of for you are a lot more expensive.. :( might as well buy a bigger bed for the cost of the ones i can think of..

If you wanted a fitted and a flat, I bet you a dry cleaning/tailoring shop would be happy to alter them for you. It's a pretty simple job. With a little confidence, you could DIY it too with a little bit of elastic. They are very pretty.

That fabric is very similar (if not exactly) to a Waverly pattern. You could make them/have them made, if you feel like the trouble!

Buy a full size set, then buy a solid twin fitted sheet that will coordinate...white or black for sure would work, but hot pink or lime green might be nice depending on your room's decor. Then you can either leave the flat sheet hanging long, or cut one side off to width of twin, and either hem by machine or with iron on tape. It will be nice to have two pillow cases...in a twin set, you'd only get one.

I bought these sheets about 8 months ago -- and they are lovely, but I find the flat sheet for the queen size to be a bit small. Maybe I accidentally shrunk them once. Though the fitted sheet is fine. They're also a little silky, which is really nice.
