How to...Fold a Fitted Sheet

This is kind of embarrassing, but here goes: We've never figured out how to fold a fitted sheet. That is, until we found this awesome photo tutorial from CatieCake! This step-by-step guide goes from that rumpled, just-pulled-from-the-dryer fitted sheet to a neat, flat package--perfect to slide into a pillowcase.

P.S. Her little feline helper is too cute for words.

excellent pictoral tutorial, but I'm surprised at how many people didn't know how to do this before seeing the photos. I guess my mom was just some kind of laundry-folding goddess because I learned to fold this way as a kid..

Yes, that looks like the usual way that cats help.

Still looks like too much work! I just crumple it into a ball. Yes, it looks awful when you first wrap your mattress, but after a while I find that the wrinkles disappear on their own.

My best friend recommended Fit and Fold to me, a great product that allows you to fold fitted sheets in seconds. Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNxoQZ-9sDc
