Trick or Sheet

A couple of years ago Henry and I left town and our Stella sitter, Danielle, laundered our sheets. I was so amazed at the way she packaged them up into a neat little pile...you know, folding a fitted sheet is a nightmare. So, although Danielle is the brilliance behind the sheet, I claim this trick as my own.

 6 Easy Steps to Manage your Sheets

First, the mess of sheets
 Second, the fitted sheet eye sore
 Third, the trick...
fold the straight sheet until you can snuggle the fitted sheet inside
 Fourth, fold
 Fifth, fold again
 Sixth, enjoy the crisp look of your sheet package

Am I the last to know how to neatly fold up a set of sheets?

  2. Oh my gosh, that's brilliant. I have been trying (and failing) to master the Martha Stewart way of folding fitted sheets for years. Why did this never occur to me? I actually think it looks even better this way.
    Thanks!

  7. another method I saw on another blog somewhere in time is that you can place the nicely folded sheets as you've shown and then fold the pillowcases into two long pieces and wrap them end to end around the folded sheets and then place on the shelf. So sweet looking and then the pillowcases stay together with the sheets.

  8. Been doing this trick for years. No one showed me I just didn't like the messy look. Folding this way fits better in the drawers or shelves too. PS. First time to see your blog...found it from Southern Hospitality....love it!

  9. Love this post and just read somewhere today that you can put flat and fitted and one pillowcase into the other pillowcase. nice neat stacks in the linen closet will put a smile on my face anytime.
