So, yesterday I commented on Kate's post about folding a fitted sheet. I know this is something a bunch of people don't know how to do, easily as least, so I thought I should repost my method here to share with all of you.
Here you go, step-by-step:
Slip your hand into two corners of the sheet, top side facing you (either top or sides, doesn't matter).
With one hand inside each of the top two corners, fold the sheet over on itself(right sides together).
Slip each of the top corners into one of the bottom corners. Now you have the under side of the sheet facing you on top.
Lay sheet on bed or sofa. Arrange and fold the corners neatly. Turn in loose edges enough to make four straight sides.
Fold in half, then in half again. (All four corners will be stacked together, and sheet will be in a long strip.
Then fold the long strip in half, then in half (or thirds, depending on the size of the sheet) again to make a square.
Sheet should be a compact, neat square.
Smooth and place on shelf. Ta da!
Admittedly, it takes a few times to get the hang of it, but now I'm pretty quick and don't dread folding sheets. :)

I'm going to have to bookmark this post!
Thank you! I have been wanting to learn how to do this. :)
I learned how to do this at my dinner group last month and ever since I get so excited when I get to fold them! lol
You are my hero - although I don't undestand the directions while I"m sitting here, I'll print them and out and try them when I'm folding laundry.
Another solution? Wash the sheets and put them right back on the bed again. Works for me!
LOL I am so glad that I stumbled upon your blog because when I read Kate's post yesterday I thought to myself "I have no idea how to fold a fitted sheet." Thanks!
