oh my god have to share this

mini miracle. How did i not know how to do this before?

That's actually brilliant. I am a bit obsessed with my linen cupboard. Thanks!

I hate fitted sheets - they always seem to slide off. But that is a nifty tip - the few I have get stuffed in the back of the cupboard because they take up too much space and never look tidy.

That's amazing! I can't wait to try it on the sheet drying on the rack!

Ooh ooh oooh! ... That was well worth watching! I always struggle to close my line drawer because of the bundled ul fitted sheets...

Thank you, that's brilliant!

After my ds was born at home, I had a home help come in to help me for a few days. The first thing she did was open my cupboard, and take out all my sheets, and re-fold them. I say re-fold, but the fact is, how can they be re-folded when I'd never folded them in the first place?

Whilst I breastfed my five hour old ds, she gave me a tutorial on how to correctly fold a fitted sheet.

In the four years since, I can safely say that I have never successfully folded a fitted sheet, and do you know what, I couldn't care less

Omg that is brilliant. I have wanted to fold fitted sheets for ages. Thanks!

one of the biggest challenges you will ever face in your life is folding a fitted sheet
It's a good tip but I feel she maybe living a very sheltered life 😃

It's like witchcraft!

Can you imagine a world where that is one of the most demanding things people have to face ? hmmmm....

That looks dead hard.

I can't watch it - keeps buffering. But does she tuck one pair of corners into the other, bring the sides in and then fold? I learned that from one of many de-cluttering books which clutter up my bookshelves.

Didn't change my life, but there is a bit more space in the airing cupboard.

what with that and the pillow case trick the times they are a changing!

Wow what a challenge that was before. So glad I know now.

Very good tutorial but that's definitely not the biggest challenge I face, if only!
Will be giving that a try later on. I've also seen a tutorial for folding tshirts -by anthea turner that was quite good too.

Agree, if only that was our biggest challenge!

notso what's the pillow case trick? >

I get on it right away........

Keeping complete bedding sets inside the pillowcase to organise the linen cupboard, and now the fitted sheet will fit too.
My life is sooo dull

I learnt that trick from the medical purser on a sailing trip years ago. It was life changing.

The sailing trip not the the sheet folding

I think the pillow case thing is maybe what I do?
When all the linen is dry and ready to be put away I fold it all to a slightly smaller size than a regular pillowcase and then put it all inside one of the pillowcases. When you need to change the bed you just grab a pillowcase and it's already got everything inside that you need. (I was taught this when I worked in housekeeping in a hotel eons ago).

I can't fold a fitted sheet though, as long as it gets stretched out on the bed it's not a problem for me!

Just tried it and its even easier than it looks, woo hoo, best thing that's happened all very tedious morning!

Are you one of my facebook friends...? I shared this vid the other day, it makes me SO HAPPY!!! I have refolded all my sheets :) :) so satisfying :)

My dh is aces at folding fitted sheets (military). Problem is they look so neat that I often take them out thinking they're flat sheets, open them up, get pissed off when they're not what I'm looking for then stuff them back in rather messily!

What's even easier is sending your fitted sheets to the ironing lady , then she folds them and sends them back !
