You should probably invest in some straight pins and put the sheet inside out on the bed and pin it tight across the width of the bed where you want the seam so your friend will know how much to take in and where to sew it. I've been doing this for all of our RV sheets for years. If you lived closer I'd do it for you.

This seems like a reasonable shortcut. Unfortunately, we have a “princess and the pea” situation in our household, and an extra seam across the sheets wouldn’t cut it. And I have to admit that the perfectionist in me likes the finished look after disassembling and reassembling the fitted sheet. Takes about 30 minutes, and modest sewing skills. If anyone is interested in trying it, I’d gladly walk you through it.
