It can be done; how to fold the perfect fitted sheet.

The Stock Exchange I'm no slouch when it comes to folding laundry. I'll happily do my share, although my wife does way more than I do. However, I've just never understood that folding nightmare "the fitted sheet." Whatever I try ends up looking like I haven't tried at all. "There has to be a method to this madness" I said today as my fifth crib sheet sat before me wanting to be put out of it's misery. And once again, the Internet had the answer.
I've put a selection of videos below, each with slightly different methods. My favorite is the first, from DIYlife.com . But feel free to try them all, and get ready to defeat that fitted sheet. Your closet will look like something out of Home & Garden magazine, you'll have more space and best of all, you can finally die knowing the fitted sheet mystery is no longer a mystery. You think I'm exaggerating? Not on your life.

Good video. I got this tip from Martha Stewart many years ago. Although I'm sure she still does it neater than I do, it works well enough. I however will never be one of those maniacs who irons sheets.

The EasyFold makes folding and storing your fitted sheets and complete sheet sets a breeze! This really works! Demo is on my website and on you tube.
I saw those vids and I started trying it. Much to my dismay it wasn't working out. I realized it's because my fitted sheets have elastic all the way around, not just at the corners. Still haven't found a way to fold those. Boo hoo.
