Fold a fitted sheet neatly

I watched it but the time it took that woman to do it, I could have several folded my style and in a drawer.

I expect it can be done quite quickly once you get used to it.

I didn't know you could get Womans Weekly online!

Whole new world set of reading material opened up. Thank you.

Couldbn't even be arsed to watch that vid though.

That was very soothing.
How do you tell the difference, though, between a fitted and flat sheet when they are in the airing cupboard unless the fitted sheet is in a mess?

I learned to do this last year, through the magic of YouTube. Folded sheets take up less room on the shelf. I have a couple of flat sheets so I put them in rolled and the fitted ones folded to avoid confusion.

I rolled all my towels after I saw that on a thread on here; DH unrolled them all and folded them neatly again and put them back in the airing cupboard.

Jalima my DH would do that too. He's a bit OCD. Not saying your OH is. .

He likes tidy cupboards and drawers but tends to leave stuff lying around - and would store things on tops of cupboards, wardrobes etc if I let him.

I've done it this way for years - and no, it doesn't take any time at all. It takes her a longish time in the video because she's doing it in a slow and deliberate manner so that people will be able to follow it easily. It's certainly quicker than wrestling with all the elasticated bits and getting the sheet all creased, then trying pointlessly to smooth it out when you've got it in a mess

Very nice, but as long as the bit you lie on is wrinkle free I'm not really bothered.

CBA as long as its not too wrinkled due to not being taken out of the washing machine soon enough. They sort of stretch out anyway when you put them on the bed.
Ah delights of womans weekly! You can always use it get beaten on the bottom if you have willing partner.

I have always folded fitted sheets this way. However, some of mine are elasticated all the way round, so they don't lie flat at the 'table' stage and still look a bit untidy when finished.

Slightly off thread, but I can remember my Mum having Woman's Weekly and the covers were in pink and blue, with the content being knitting patterns and recipes mainly. Was having a pedicure today in Kuala Lumpur (visiting DS 1) and Woman's Weekly Malaysia was a glossy magazine full of celebrities and expensive clothes. Mum would not have approved.
Nelliemoser so you too were a fan of Victoria Wood? Such a loss.

You've got your priorities right, Nellie.

purpledaffodil I was very much a fan of Victoria Wood what a very clever and talented woman with her humour and writing.

Eh, Nellie????? 10.52 post, last sentence. Each to his own, I guess.......
Most current magazines have pictures of and articles about celebrities whom I've never heard of, often showing them in unflattering (probably airbrushed) poses. Ok for a quick read at the hairdresser, or in a waiting room, but I wouldn't bother to buy them.

Oops I've strayed from the subject. Sorry.

And why not Bellanonna ? Threads are for straying from and I started it anyway. Don't worry about Nelliemoser. She was quoting from the late much lamented Victoria Wood, "Let's do it". Also contains the immortal line "Bend me over backwards on me hostess trolley"

I find the easiest why to fold a fitted sheet is - don't bother. I just roll them up.

I just roll them up and sling them in the cupboard. We seem to have survived!

the hardest thing with a fitted sheet is trying to get one deep enough to fit a deep mattress mine keep pinging off! re the folding Ive given up and gone out and bought flat sheets so much better and they dont all wrinkle up while your sleeping..

You can get extra deep sheets at John Lewis or online. Linen Cupboard is a good website. I have a 3'6" divan and couldn't find fitted sheets till I found Linen Cupboard on line.
