How to fold a fitted sheet.

[milliez]

This was a topic a long time ago. I know a lot of us had no clue how to nicely fold a fitted sheet. I found this at http://www.kohls.com (http://www.kohls.com/) and thought I would share.:awink:


How do I fold fitted sheets?

Hold the sheet by the two adjacent corners of one of the shorter edges (see photo, right). Make sure the sheet is inside out, and place one hand in each
of these two corners.

Carry your right hand over to your left, and fold the corner in your right hand over the one in your left, "sandwiching" it. Then pick up the corner that is hanging in front. Fold it over the two corners in your left hand. Note: The corner that’s showing will be inside out.Lift up the last corner and fold it over the others. Its right side should be showing.

Place the folded sheet on a flat surface, and straighten it into the shape shown. Fold the two edges inward so all the elastic is hidden.

Fold the sheet into a rectangle.Continue folding until the rectangle is the size you want it to be.

That's how my mom taught me to do it :biggrin:

Somebody (Karly?) posted a nice video about this last year... i think it was the same concept, just in a video. I've been doing them that way ever since.

That's what I get for going away for a year. I missed all of the good information.:awink: I've never known how to do it properly, so I am glad to finally have the breakdown!

Thanks! I try my best to do it, but it never turns out perfect. I also store the set in one of the pillow cases. Keeps it nice and neat in the closet.
