How to Make a Travel Sheet

Save on the cost of buying a travel sheet by making your own. A travel sheet protects you against unclean bedding, allergens and bedbugs at hotels. Travel sheets lining sleeping bags protect them against sweat or dirt while camping. It's simple to make a travel sheet by sewing a queen-size sheet into a sleep sack. Look for a sheet made out of cotton, poly-cotton blends, polyester fleeces or silk.
