LOL.... lot of truth there! I saw a video of the perfect way to fold a fitted sheet so it lay flat in the drawer. I laughed. Once upon a time, we couldn't afford more than one set of sheets, so after being washed and dried they just went back onto the bed.
Now, I actually have three sets, but often still wash and put back on the bed because I have a favorite. But since I store the others on a shelf, they don't have to lay perfectly flat so I just fold them the best I can and forget it.
I am certainly not perfect little suzy homemaker.

    Quoting  :

Iron the sheets? I remember my gramma and mom ironing a lot of things, but sheets was never one of them..... guess maybe that's because each bed had only one set, so it was straight off the line onto the bed.
I sort of fold my sheets similar to you, but the video I saw was so precise and actually ended up tucking the whole thing into the elastic somehow. I do fold my towels and stack them separately, but Joe doesn't fold them the way I do, no matter how many times I've tried to show him how I like them! LOL

I watched the videos.... and it seems sooooo easy!!

Then I realized they were using a single or twin bed sized sheet~~

Try doing it with a California King sized fitted sheet!!!!!!!

Lol....I go with number 7. I fold the top sheet up nicely and the bottom fitted bottom sheet I get it folded as small as I can then put them in the linen closet and quickly close the door......

Creative Ideas.

ET I tried that (even though you explained it beautifully, also tried following the video at one time... no luck so I gave up. .I simply became too frustrated LOL
I agree with Rocket!

Some of my fitted sheets fold easily, others get folded the best I can do.

When they were brand new they folded easy but over time either the things shrink or get twisted.

As long as they don't come off in the night I am happy

FITTED SHEETS TEND TO UNWRINKLE THEMSELVES WHEN PUT BACK ON THE BED BUT I STILL IRON MINE. FOLDING IS NEVER PERFECT BUT WHO IS GOING TO SEE MY SHEETS BUT ME???

I just roll 'em up and put in the clean wash basket till I'm ready to use them again!
I do the same with the mattress protectors. Best way to avoid crying

My daughter and son-in-law had a hotel...she used to iron the sheets on the bed so there would be no fold lines in them!
