How To Fold A Fitted Sheet
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

Do you know to fold a fitted sheet - do you really know how? It is a mystery to me on why we can never fold the fitted sheet back into the nice little rectangle that once was for easy storage. You can ask my husband - he has no idea on how to fold it either. He just makes a nice rolled up balled up mess that he calls folded and then puts it away in our linen closet. I can go over to friends homes and sneak a peek at their linen closet and once again not a folded fitted sheet in sight. Just a big old mess. My dear sweet grandma should me long ago - how to fold a fitted sheet. Here is my lesson to you - and yes I am going to teach my husband once again on how to fold the fitted sheet and this time I hope he remembers.

Enjoy and happy folding correctly,

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Finding the corners/points
    With you pointer finger - put them each into to ends of the fitted sheet. I always start with the top or bottom points of the sheet- the shorter distance. Here my husband has his two fingers at each end inside the sheet. Find your points!


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Bring the two point together
    In this step bring your two fingers together.

    Bring over one side - ride side over to meet the other point.

    Different angles of the folded sheet
    Here are different angles of what you should have after you get all points together. My husband is so excited - we are almost finished

    Finishing the folding
    This next step is best when you place the sheet on a flat surface.

  17. Step 17

    Step 17

    With the sheet on the flat surface bring over one side half way over -

  18. Step 18

    Step 18

    then bring over again so you get a nice neat rectangle.

  19. Step 19

    Step 19

    You are all done!
    Now you have a nice neat folded fitted sheet. Please go put it away and refold all the other ones that you may have setting in you linen closet that are a mess.

    If my husband can fold it you can too!

    Thanks and enjoy folding!

This is a great tutorial! I just tried it and it works perfectly. The only problem is, now I won't be able to tell which sheets are the fitted ones until I unfold them :-0 LOL
