Yes, I do, and I figured it out all by myself. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Re: ~Do You Know How To Fold A Fitted Sheet?~

My linen closet is stocked with an abundance of towels, t/p, kleenex, blankets and comforter. Since I launder our sheets every 2 weeks, I find it rather easy to just place them right back onto the bed. I did this even when we had another set of sheets in the linen closet. Bed, Bath and Beyond is just 7 minutes away. Who needs to learn how to fold them?? {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Ok, learned something here. I have plenty of sheets. But as they wear out, I'm going to do as you all do. I'll buy replacement sheets, and while I have them, I'll wash and put back on the bed. I have flannel ones for winter that my husband loves, since they are warmer when you jump into bed. Then I have cotton for coolness in warmer weather. I may never have to buy sheets again, but hubby is happy with the sheets with have. He even will help make the bed. It's king size and my back isn't always the best. But it's been fun reading the comments.

I didn't look at the video but my sheets are always folded nice and neat inside each other so that they look nice on the shelf.

I tuck in the corners to make it straight then fold. That's easier than what this ladies doing.

I really don't fuss with sheets. I wash them after being stored and put them right on the bed. so they aren't wrinkled and when I wash every week or so all that season I put them right on the bed so no wrinkles.

So the only time I fold them is to store during change of seasons.

PS) I remember my Nana rolling laundry and putting it in the fridge! Then shed get it out and sprinkle it with water and iron. She ironed EVERYTHING from sheets to underwear! NO thanks...lol.. not me! I iron NOTHING except when my DH has a work meeting occasionally then I iron his clothing.

I loved this video. I didn't know about doing it this way. Thanks! I will try it.

BTW, I have at least 8 sets of sheets, after donating 12 sets. I put the same darn sheets back on the bed, because I love them so much! More is not always better. I agree with 2 sheet limit. I have only one queen bed in house. So, one to wear, and one spare just in case.

No, I can't fold sheets. The linen closet looks like it too. When I take sheets out of the closet, I have to run them through a short wash to get the wrinkles out.

I do, my Grandmother taught me! It helps if you have longer arms - but, I am only 5'4 - but - I manage pretty good! We have a Queen size bed - and the kids' beds are singles and double.
