Sailboats are usually small so boat beds are not of regular sizes. Boats under 45ft have a little space for storage and cabins. V-berth boats, its bunks are surrounded by three sides.

Measuring the boat mattress precisely. You will find a detachable cushion in a V-berth yacht. To get the exact measurement of your boat bed, you have to take off the cushion.

Having the right amount of butcher paper is enough for you to make a style. Be sure to put a 1 inch allowance on each side to be sure that the sheet will fit under the boat mattress.

When tracing the form on the flat sheet, put an extra space on the v-berth. You can use a queen size sheet to a V-berth that is close to size of a full bed.

You have to make a square cut on every corner to cut it out. Make sure to turn the curve under when sewing the elastic to make space to make those corners.

You can form a pocket by matching the 2 cut ends and sewing them altogether.

Use straight pins to hold it into shape when folding the edges of the sheet then sew the elastic hem to the sheets edges.

To make without a pattern, you can just make a sketch of the outline of the sheet and measure all sides of the boat mattress including its thickness.

To make it more durable and tighter, you have to use a sewing machine.

You should not make corners to small or the bedding will not fit on your boat mattress. You sew the edges facing downward while the sheet is on the mattress.
