Folding a sheet, jeez, how the hell do I do this?

[anonymousbrainsnatcher]

I don't iron, let alone properly fold my sheets - life is too short.

For reasons I won't bore you with here, I have two double fitted sheets that need not only to be ironed (a challenge in itself) but THEN to be folded such that they look like they came out of a packet, ie. perfect edges, perfectly folded in elasticated bits... to form a perfect little bundle of ironed beauty that I can hand back to their rightful owners.

I am just about there with the ironing (hard though, the damned thing goes everywhere!) but HOW IN HELL's NAME DO I FOLD the sodding thing????

Tips, please you good housekeepers!

I think there is actually a demonstarion on YouTube for this

do you have no money to go and buy new ones and give them in their packets?

if not... err... good luck

It's not the money thing, the people whose sheets they are want the exact sheets, understandably, they are just completely anal about how their sheets are folded and I have to match their folding otherwise there will be !!!

Youtube it is.. thanks BBA.

Extraordinary, there are tons of clips on You Tube.

Thanks for the tip. I have some work to do, but at least I have a general approach now.... mind you, not sure my arms are long enough.

Choose the folding fitted sheets from "living on a dime" clip on youtube.

It's funny, I thought this was quite a novelty for about a week and did the folding thing all the time. It didn't last though. I just scrunch mine up again now. I am a lost cause on the domestic goddess front
