    When my dad was widowed, he said, “hey, i learned a good way to fold fitted sheets!” He held it up, made a few folds to make it narrow, then rolled it around his hands and smashed it against his stomach. Looked awful, but it worked. I laugh every time I think of it.

    Fifty, yikes, yes, fifty years ago my friends mother showed us this same technique as my wedding present at my shower. All of us thought it was odd but we all gained a valuable lesson that day. Still use that method, takes about 20 seconds it is such a habit. The only difference is I open the flat sheet on the final fold over, place the fitted sheet and pillowcases inside the final fold so everything is together nice and flat just like your linen closet only a bit thicker. Great tip and I hope everyone uses it. Thanks Jan for sharing.

      LOVE the idea of placing the fitted sheet and pillow cases inside the final fold of the flat sheet, keeping the entire ensemble together!!! Right now we get the different sized linens mixed up because they are similar colors (full vs queen). This will definitely help out.

    • @SantaRosaGal
      @SantaRosaGal Год назад +1

      Fitted sheets were only elastic at the corners fifty years ago. I used to have no trouble folding them back then. But now they are elastic all around and it's much harder to even find the corners and even when you do, they won't lay flat and square.

    • @gamadebdegamadebde
      @gamadebdegamadebde Год назад +1

      @@SantaRosaGal All of my sheets have the elastic all the way around but there is always a seam on each of the four corners. Fold in half, tucking corner in, then fold in half again, tucking in. This makes fitted sheet one quarter size, all corners are tucked inside the top fold. Place pillowcases in fold then flat sheet on outside, fold everything in half then in thirds. Nice and flat. All 3 of my queen sets and 12 pillowcases fit in one 24" wide by 9" deep drawer. Practice makes perfect, I promise.

    I do a similar technique.
    At the point where you are about to do the last folds on the fitted sheet, I put the flat sheet and pillow cases on top and fold over them so I end up with the whole set showing on the shelf with one fold.

The kids I didn’t have, are lucky to not have a mom that doesn’t know how to fold sheets properly. I roll them up lol. But alas, there is hope. I will unroll a pair of sheets and attempt your teachings.

    Great hack My method is using clothes line, I don’t have a clothes dryer. I hang my just washed sheet on line if it is too wide for the line hang it doubled, making sure fitted side edges are all on same side just gently pull adjust, make sure when hung make sure hanging edges line up. When dry simply fold in half on line, then when lifting from line grab the top folded edge and pull towards you remove fully from line, secure folded edge under your chin and neck, simply fold the rectangular shape 2, 3 or more times tilll it is the size you want for storage. Hope this makes sense.

    Hint: IF unable to fold right away, don't pile in a lump somewhere. Always drape dried sheet over some furniture temporarily until time to fold, thereby reducing any creases.

    What she said mathmatically E=hx e.g.. 1 = cos2 (x) + sin2 (x) = (eix + e-ix )2 /4 + sin ...
    Where the coefficient eix represents the four sides of the sheet. Just follow this simple formula and you'll
    be folding fitted sheets like a pro.
    We can put a man on the moon, but we can't figure a way to universally fold a fitted sheet.

Could even have a diagram over your video if that makes sense. I know how to fold a fitted sheet, so I watched to see if you had an easier way. No. You didn't. And hearing you try to explain what you're doing was a little hard to follow. Just an FYI. 8:18
