Custom Crib Sheet Colors

[GeekLady]

Hi!

I've been having trouble finding crib sheets that are both well made, and I like. Either they're 200+ thread count 100% cotton with all around elastic in boring crummy pastel colors, or they're more interesting colors but cotton/poly blends.

So I was wondering - could I safely take a white sheet and dye it? Would dying it damage the elastic?

Additionally, are American Baby Company's cotton percale crib sheets good quality? Does anyone have experience with them? They look good in the BabyCenter store, and I'll probably go with them even if I can't dye them.

Thank you!

I have American Baby Company sheets (flannel sp?) for DD's crib and they have held up well. Washed at least 3 times now, and no major shrinkage or fading. I am not that particular about the color- hers are a light green, so I bought them because they came in the size I needed- we have a half size crib. Anyway, HTH.
