my arms fell off in my latest attempt to fold a fitted sheet
i put a disorganized lump of 250-thread-count navy blue cloth into the linen closet, carrying it with my teeth and opening the door with my foot.

i am typing with my nose.

B-)

1. omg the visual
:rofl: aren't you supposed to be taking it easy?

I found an easy way to fold fitted sheets. Lay it flat on the bed or floor, where ever is easiest. fold in half and tuck the fitted corners into each other. flip the tops over to make it 'square' and continue from there.

Clear as mud right? :evilgrin: it works.

kesha.

6. I roll them after combining the corners at each end.
They look neater on the shelf and I can always tell which is fitted, which flat.

Fitted sheets are a godsend on the bed, but Satan's handiwork in the linen closet.:evilgrin:



Hey Bertha ---you know the lounge will always bring down the BP.

4. Here's the easy way to store sheets
Fold them imprecisely and loosely, then take ONE of the pillowcases in the set, use it like a bag and put the other pieces inside the one pillowcase. Now you have everything together in a handy carrying case.

Voila!

Okay, that's just the way I do it. Your mileage may vary.

10. Darn--
what a bunch of neat freaks. I fold it in half a few times and put it in the drawer with the other sloppily folded fitted sheets. Then, I walk away and get on with my life. I'm just going to unfold it when I put it on the bed anyway. If I have to care about how neatly folded a fitted sheet is, I might as well care about the dust bunnies under the bed---and I don't. They're not hurting anybody.
