Fold the sheets and put them in the pillow case, Then fold the pillowcase underneath. If you need to, secure with a safety pine. After a few tries you will be able to fold them evenly so they stack nicely!
Fold the whole sheet set as best you can, except for one pillowcase. Place the entire set of sheets inside it, wrap excess fabric underneath the pillowcase and, voila! You have your set all together and it doesn't look messy and it will fit better in your closet or wherever you store it.
I just wash, dry, and put them back on the bed. However, if you want to fold them, you need to put corner pockets into each other (folded in half) and then lay the sheet flat onto a bed. Fold the sheet as needed.
I fold mine very similar to the way Mogie posted. However, I fold it on the bed rather than the floor. Once I get it folded to step 5, I fold the flat sheet and pillowcases and put all pieces together. Then proceed to fold. That enables me to have all pieces together when I change the sheets. You can also hold out 1 pillowcase and place all pieces inside which will provide a smooth look.
Fold in half, tuck corners onto opposite corner, flatten out side netween curved corners, then fold sheet the other direction so both sets of corners meet. It will be a little wonkey at the end, but continue folding the same direction-meeting the longer sides, and again. Turn the pile over so the curved corners are on top.Then bring the bottom edge up to the top. Should be pretty square. Helps if 2 people fold it together. I can picture it in my head as I go, but not sure I explained it well.
I was taught to fold the sheet in half and tuck the fitted corner into the matching fitted corner. Then fold it in half again and fit all the corners together inside. The finish folding it as usual. Also put the top sheet folded, the folded fitted and other pillow case all inside the 2nd case to keep everything together stacked in one pillow case on the linen closet shelf
Put the corners together and then straighten out on a table. Then fold from side to side and then into three sections. Fits nicely into cupboards this way.
My mom tried to teach me, but I never really got the hang of it. She started by putting the elastic ends into each other and folding the sides in to give you sharper corners to work with. I hope this helps a little bit.
Hello. There is a way to fold fitted sheets. I fold them in half tucking the corners into each other. I then fold both sides in so they meet in the middle. Then I do the same with the short side. I hope this makes sense it is hard to explain. Here is a link to a video I found of how to do it.
I fold the elastic sections into each other, then fold up small. I then fold the pillow cases. I fold the flat sheet lengthwise, and fold up the fitted and pillow cases into the flat sheet - making a very tight package.
What I have found helps a great deal to fold a fitted sheet into a neat square is to remove it from the dryer immediately when the cycle ends. The trick is to remove the sheet and fold it inside its elasticized corners while the fabric is still warm and before the fibres cool down to the shape that the sheet is rumpled in.
I fold it as best possible and put the flat sheet, pillowcases, and fitted sheet into one of the pillowcases. It's all in one nice package, no one will ever see it, and everything stays together. Life's too short to fold fitted sheets :)
Hang 2 corners on 2 dining chairs that you have spaced them to fit the sheet. Fold the other 2 corners over the first 2 corners and fold all 4 corners together and fold.
I have a large work table and I do pretty much what Barbara says, except on my work table. But with the new deep pockets of fitted sheets, they never look very neat. And I iron mine.
Lay the sheet on a bed or large table, top side down.
Place your hand in the corners to create equally sized "pockets", while insuring the middle sections of fabric in between the corners are folded down to the same size as the depth of the "pockets".
Fold the bottom pockets up and place them atop the top pockets.
Straighten the edges, then continue folding in the same direction until sheet measures about 12" wide. Fold once more, then fold the sheet from long side to long side until it measures about 6" in length. Sheets can then be stood "on edge" in a drawer, facilitating easy identification by style, color, etc. Because nothing is stored on top, no "straightening'" of sheet stacks is required.
I just redid my entire linen closet and wrestled with the sheets myself. I found that having a large flat surface like my bed to work on made it easier. I tucked the corners into one another, smoothed them down with some pressure and then folded the sheet as I normally would.
I just wash, dry, and put them back on the bed.

There is a really good video on Youtube that shows how..
After I get my king fitted folded in the final thirds... I roll it and store it (and all my sheets) in a dresser drawer
