   Cutting length by sewing doesn’t work, because the alteration has to happen at the corners where the sheet needs to stretch most.

   Try sheet straps – they’re about 5 bucks at stores like Bed Bath & Beyond:

   You make your bed, and then clamp the straps under the corners of your bed to tighten your sheet. They even can be used to turn a normal sheet into a fitted sheet, so they definitely work for normal fitted sheets.

   Good luck,
