I am not a cleanie by nature. But, I love to have a clean house. It frees me up to do the things that I do love. However, laundry is one of the household tasks I actually enjoy. Yeah, call me crazy. There is something therapeutic about seeing a mess of stinky Boy clothes transformed into nice neat stacks. Even if the nice neat stacks last about 32 seconds.
A couple things that my mom taught me many moons ago about laundry:
- Starched and ironed pillowcases feel divine.
- It’s better to match socks as they come through the dryer than to let them pile up in number until they fill a duffle bag that could weigh down the brawniest of seamen. Yeah, you make me laugh, Mom.
- Folding fitted sheets is not only easy, but makes your cupboards look so much nicer.
In case you never learned how to fold a fitted sheet, here’s my brief tutorial.
I used a crib sheet in this example, but if you need to see it larger than a baby bed, let me know and me and my trusty camera man will go back to work.
This works for me. How about you?
You know, mine are generally just wadded in a big ball and shoved in the linen closet! LOL. I HATE folding sheets BECAUSE of the fitted sheet. But you know, you may be onto something now!
That is cool! I had no idea how to do that. Thanks! Notice the exclamation marks. I’m really am excited to learn this. Now I’m going to practice.
I was just trying to figure out how to fold these fitted crib sheets – I typed how to fold a fitted crib sheet into Google and found your video! I am standing here folding away, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Thank you, thank you!!!
Yeah! So glad that google and I could help you today!
Yay! Thanks for the tip! You don’t know how many people don’t know how to fold sheets, so you’re fantastic to have a video demo!
Thanks so much for this! I’ve linked this to my own blog as it’s so useful, I’ve never seen how to do this!
I saw that on a Martha Stewert show years ago and have done my fitted sheets like that ever since. I love how everything stays nice and neat doing them that way.
This is SOOOOOOO COOL.
Yes. Capital Letters.
Yes. Many of them.
Cool!!!!
I have never been able to fold a fitted sheet! I just end up rolling them and then they look a mess and take up too much space. Thanks for the video. If you have time to do another video, I would love to see how it works with bigger sheets. We only have full and queen sized beds (no kids yet).
I love this! When I first got married (at 17), an older woman in our apartment’s laundromat taught me how to fold fitted sheets. I had never seen them folded before and was amazed! I continue to think about that day every time I fold my sheets and it is such a fond memory of mine.
