So happy to find your blog, unfortunately I found it with your photos and instructions being used on another blog.

My wife is now happy that I have learned a new skill. Although she has pointed out that if I ironed them 1st they would be even easier to fold. I will just go and cook dinner now and think about that comment!

You have no idea how this post has changed my life. I have always dreaded "folding" fitted sheets until they turned into a crumpled ball, despite my best efforts. I would always imagine how a stand-up comedian could use fitted-sheet folding as a topic. It was literally like watching a miracle happen before my eyes as I folded this perfect rectangle from a fitted sheet! Who knew learning this would be so exciting! Thank you So much for posting the instructions and picture.

Mrs. RoRo, make sure to keep your hand in the "pocket" that's formed with the corners as you lay it down and straighten it out. The elastic part will probably be on the top left corner instead of the right since you're holding it in your left hand.

Looks great until I get to step 4! :(

Just tried this method, the instructions were a little confusing at first, but I think I did it correctly. Mine didn't turn out quite as neat as the picture, but maybe I'll get it with practice. Thanks for posting!

My mother has been trying to teach me how to do this since I was a kid but I always seem to mess up around step three or four regardless of how much I try!

WOW! I just folded my fitted sheet per these instructions...how can something like folding a fitted sheet totally blow my mind?! 48 years old and I've finally got it down!

Don't forget -- after folding, you can put the sheets inside of one of the pillow cases for easy storage!

Wow! This is amazing! I've struggled with this and it annoys me to no end to have the bunched up sheets in my linen closet :)

2011-07-23T15:16:15.422-07:00

I literally ended up in a sobbing mess on the floor the last time I tried to do this at my mother-in-law's instruction... "Why, honey, it's easy - just put all the corners together!" BWAH! This is a PERFECT way to illustrate and explain it - I'm going to practice until I can knock her socks off and finally attain that "Domestic Goddess" title I've been so desperately seeking. THANK. YOU.

My mother came to stay for our first born. She said she knew she was at my house when she found the fitted sheets folded this way. (I'm a perfectionist in unusual ways).

I too learned it from Martha a while back. Such a great tip!

2010-03-05T15:34:40.705-08:00

My mom taught me this method, but mine never turn out quite that perfect. They are usually still a little bit lumpy, but I think that is because I am not meticulous enough in the folding. It is much better than wading them up in a ball and putting them in a drawer, like I used to do.

Steph- thanks for this reminder. I think I'll have to relearn this once a year forever. I can never remember.
Buttercup- I remember ironing sheets with my grandmother. Such a lost art.

Oh my how I needed this post. You would think at my age I would have learned this at some point but my fitted sheets end up a rolled up pile in the closet.

I have tried to do this so many times. Thanks for the reminder - I'll pass it on to my husband who is much better at this than I. I laughed when I read the comment from "buttercup" - too funny.

2010-03-05T05:00:52.720-08:00

I learned how to fold them properly when I was a missionary in France and I unwittingly agreed to help a sweet old lady with her laundry and ironing because I was unfamiliar with the French words for that. I thought we were vacuuming. But no, she had us folding and IRONING her sheets!
