    Using the opposite corners along the shortest end I grab the inner most seam that creats the fitted pouch. Pull to make a staight edge allowing the extra odd shaped fabic to drape inside. Grab the opposite ends and pull again. This gives a square. Gently place the sheet on a flat surface (usually the bed) and fold into halves, reducing the longest side to the size you want. Finally, I fold the remaining ends into the center and then in half.

    Sometimes I roll the sheet in the final fold and store them in an attractive basket.

    Try tucking the corners to make square angles and folding it that way. No matter what you usually end up with wrinkled sheets. We use them at the hotel and it can often appear as though the sheets have been slept in previously. It's not a major complaint but one is enough.

    Just ball them up and hide them between your flat sheets. Just kidding. I've had a hard time folding fitted sheets. Try to fold similar to flat but fold in the elastic corners so that you have straight edges to work with.

    slide your hands into the pockets at one end then slide those pockets inside the ones at the other end.. fold the sides in to make it even, then fold double until it is neat and the size for your storage space. NOTE: Once you have all the sheets and pillow cases together and folded for that particular set, slide them all into one of the pillow cases. It keeps them all together neatly.

    Martha says to tuck the corners into each other then fold away. I store them under my mattress in order to save room in the linen closet.
