I saw this on your husband’s blog “22 Words”. I watched it twice and then tried to fold a fitted sheet – Success! My wife says I can fold all of the fitted sheets from now on. I don’t mind because now I know how. Thanks for making the video!

This is also how I fold my fitted sheets, except when she gets it to the rectangle, I fold it into 3rds and ROLL it up. When you store it with the flat sheet, you can easily identify which sheet is which.

I am going to have to try that out! I work one night a week at a salon and our poor masseuse gets her fitted sheets folded back so poorly, I just stuff them in her cupboard out of embarrassment that I can’t figure it out! So thank you for the tips! :-)

Oh my goodness, the fitted sheet! THank you Martha, I mean Molly, what a huge help! I’ve always had trouble folding this one and usually just ball it up. This is fantastic.

I had a similar revelatory experience via my husband when we first got married. One of the many brilliant things he brought to our marriage. I may be OCD when it comes to “everything in it’s place” but I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I fold my sheets now.

Oh no! I thought I fixed that – SHEET, not SHEEP!! Leave the sheep alone, they stink.

I worked for two summers in a luxury hotel, so I learned early on. The way we learned was even easier than the way you are doing it. It is like a few others said here – instead of switching your hand around from one side to another and tucking inside, you put your left hand in and fold your right hand corner over on top.

But then, it gets even easier. Instead of trying with one hand to get the other corners together, folded, and tucked in, do this – Switch your hands – in other words, put your left hand in your two folded together corners, and take your right hand out. Now you have two nice corners and two loose ones. Then, run your hand along the side of the sheep which is farther out from yourself, and put it in JUST ONE loose corner. Bring that up, and fold it over on your right hand. then do the same with the other loose corner. Then shake the wrinkles out of the sheet, lay it down on a flat surface, and fold the thing in half and then in thirds. Nice, neat package.

It just saves the one handed trying. It means putting the corners on the “folded hand” one at a time, which is really easier. I know. I had to fold over twenty a day, and without a wrinkle!

Don’t worry. I was 28 too, and I was shown by a 14 year old girl that was serving me by helping with the laundry I was backed up on (a whole other story). Talk about a humbling experience.
