Turning a sheet sides to middle, saving the planet one mend at a time

That’s some very oldfashioned mending! Well done!

I remember my grandmother had a few sheets that were mended that way. The booklet that came with my Vintage 1958 Husqvarna describes in great detail how to do this, and many other types of mends that have since fallen out of fashion. If I remember correctly, they recommended sewing some sort of border or bias tape around the edges to cover the fraying fabric.
