    Yay. It took five videos, but I finally got it with this video! I think the "hand swapping" was the key. Also doing the final two corners together (not separately) helped LOTS. Thanks, I am so proud of myself... after fifty years I now know how to do it!

    FINALLY! A video that makes sense. I watched so many of these over and over and yours was the first one that was easy to understand. Everyone says to take the 3rd corner and stick it into the first two. This is where I found everything got all twisted up. YOU said to just take the 3rd and 4th corners together and fold them over, which made it much easier for me to understand. Thank you so much.

      Linda, glad to be of help on this! We run an AirBnB out of our home as well and this is a practice we use almost daily. Heck, I've even got DFJay to do this ALMOST as well is I do! Thanks for watching our video and taking time to write. Be sure to pass us on! Best Regards, DFMaggie

    This is how I fold my fitted sheets, then when I get the flat sheet folded, and one pillow case, too, I slide them into the last pillow case and fold it over so that when I put them into the linen closet, they stack well, they hold together good and don't get mixed up with other sheets. When the grands come to visit, they can just go to the closet and grab a set of sheets with one hand and we're good to go. I love your videos.

      Rayma, I don't know how we missed your comment. Thanks for the great idea! We build "kits" as well by batching them together, but I really like the way you approach it. We have an AirBnb as well, and DFJ is the one that strips the beds, launders and dries the sheets, then folds. He then batches them together in stacks for me to remake the beds (I have my personal style and Jay just doesn't quite get it way I like!), but we'll put your idea to use. Nice! Thanks for writing, and if you haven't already, be sure to subscribe to our channel. Thanks - DirtFarmer Maggie

    This sort of video is so important. There are a lot of young people that grew up without any skills. I think it's great when people like you, Dirt Farmer Maggie, make videos that help people and put good into the world. It might seem like just a video on folding a sheet but there's a lot of goodness and kindness behind it.From 2:03 to 2:08 you look like an angel. Cool!

    I have been using Dirt Farmer Jay’s method my whole life (I’m 45!) and I just hide all of the fitted sheets in the bottom of my cedar chest with the nicely folded stuff on top, so it at a least looks correct. Thanks so much Dirt Farmer Maggie, now I don’t have to hide my salacious secret in the bottom of the cedar chest! 👍🏻😉

    Thank you Farmer Maggie!! This video made the most sense. My sheets were still not flat, but I at least got all the corners in one area! That's the farthest I've gotten compared to all other fitted sheet folding videos. I'm going to assume it'll come with practice and it's still better than using my original method :)

    • @DirtFarmerJay
      @DirtFarmerJay  5 лет назад

      Hi Corrina. Thanks for watching! It does take some practice but it beats just wadding them up and sleeping on wrinkled sheets! It also helps to lay them on a table or bed once you've gathered the corners together to finish the folding process. You might even end up with a flat square!! Good luck and let me know how you do. Best to you. DFM

      Todd Bailey She does a great job, doesn't she? She can fold fitted sheets in about 30 seconds. I've got the basics down on it, but it takes me about 2 to 3 minutes. Being a bit helpless has it's benefits as she just tends to "just do it". That's OK with me! Thanks for visiting DirtFarmerJay.com!

    Jay, I love your video tips and I'm not taking anything away from them but it's a good thing you have her on the same team.
    I don't know where she could have learned voodoo magic like that but I plan to use it to win some bonus points... Maybe I can pretend that I'm just gifted and I see solutions this in my head. :) (then I plan to make her syrup, and claim "Doesn't everyone know how to make syrup from scratch????"

    • @DirtFarmerJay
      @DirtFarmerJay  9 лет назад

      Kevin Gibson No offense taken. I still take 4x time to fold the sheet than she does, so a man has to know his limitations. Have fun with the syrup making too!

      @DirtFarmerJay  3 года назад +1

      Hi Mary K!!! So good to hear from you. I don't have any Keto specific recipes, sorry. But I have been doing low carb for about the last 5 years. My "go to" to replace bread/potatoes/pasta/rice is Low Carb wheat Tortillas. I buy Mission brand Carb Balance tortillas. You can buy them at WalMart. Depending on the size they are 4G to 8G of carbs per tortilla. I eat a lot of shreadded cheese melted on a tortilla (in the microwave). Very satifying and very low carb. Hope this helps. Love to you honey, Dirt Farmer Maggie
