Yes, stitching units in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat routinely make fitted sheets and duvet covers to buyer-supplied sizes, and most private-label work is done this way. What they need from you is a complete specification, because a fitted sheet in particular has several measurements that a flat sheet does not.
The factory will cut, sew and pack to whatever dimensions you give, within the limits of the fabric width. The common failures are not about capability but about missing information, usually an unstated pocket depth or a shrinkage allowance that nobody agreed.
What a fitted sheet needs
- Finished length and width to match the mattress, plus the pocket depth, which should exceed the mattress depth by a margin so the sheet tucks under.
- Elastic specification: all-round elastic or corner elastic only, the elastic width, its stretch ratio and whether it is sewn in a casing or stitched directly to the hem.
- Corner construction: a sewn box corner or a cut and seamed corner, and the seam type used.
- Fabric shrinkage allowance applied to the cut size, agreed before cutting rather than after.
- Label position, usually inside one short side, so the customer can tell which way the sheet goes on.
What a duvet cover needs
State the finished size, the closure type and its position. Button closures need the button size, count and spacing; zips need the length and whether they are concealed; envelope closures need the flap depth. Internal corner ties or loops are expected in some markets and not others, so say whether you want them.
Decide whether the top and bottom panels are the same fabric or whether the reverse is a plainer or lighter quality, which is common on printed covers. If the cover is reversible or has a contrasting reverse, give the fabric for each side separately.
Fabric width, seams and samples
Most Indian sheeting is woven in widths that cover a UK or EU king without a seam, but a US king or California king can exceed the loom width on some constructions. If a seam is unacceptable, confirm the available width before fixing the size range. Also agree the seam allowance and stitch density, because a thin seam on a fitted sheet corner is the first place it fails.
Ask for a pre-production sample in each size and wash it before measuring. Approve it in writing, seal a copy, and keep that sealed sample as the reference for the bulk inspection. Small differences in elastic or seam allowance are easy to fix at this stage and expensive afterwards. If you are running several sizes, approve each one separately, because a pocket depth that works on a double does not prove the super king.
How we help
We visit the stitching units, check that the pocket depth, elastic and closure specification are understood on the line, and send sealed samples to an NABL-accredited lab where fabric testing is needed. We measure finished pieces and check packing before loading, supervise the loading and send weekly updates. One approved supplier plus one backup, beginning with a free 20-minute sourcing review.
