Storing Sheets in Pillowcases

Is it worth it? Trying to be like Martha Stewart, I mean? Clean house, amazing food, super organized, nifty crafts accomplished. The truth is, it is out of my reach. And I am okay with it. I have a friend who taught me a wonderful phrase. When you notice something about yourself that is not so hot, just remind yourself, I am good at other things. But when I see ideas like this from Martha's website, I wonder if that one, just that one, might be possible for me. I found it. This is the one. This is an idea that is doable and worth it.

Just slip folded flat, fitted and any extra pillowcases inside the main pillowcase for a neat packet where everything is together and easy to find.

That seems like a great way to keep everything from a set together. I may have to try it, too.

I love being able to find the pillow cases that go with the sheets.

I saw this on someone's Pinterest and went to Martha's site and checked it out. The man I use to live with had so many mis-matched sets and I am still in his house so I started re-washing all the ones I found and tried Martha's method . I have to say this is a great idea and the best things about it is: It's easy, it's doable, it gets part of your house organized, and the absolute very best thing about it (for a person with zero income while waiting on the seemingly never arriving answer ...»
from disability ) IS: It doesn't cost a darn thing! Thanks for reminding me about this!

I have been doing this for about a year now and it definitely helps keep my linens in better order. Only "Martha" thing I can do...

Janet, you sound like we are alike!
Megan, sometimes when I get out of a good habit, and remember it later I wonder why I ever quit as well!

I gotta try this ,seems to me it would also be a space saver as well as keeping them organized.

Jean, It is true, it definitely takes up less space this way.

i have been doing this since your original post. It really works, especially when you have a bunch of almost-the-same white sheets that can easily get mixed up.
