As much as I love fitted bottom sheets, I dislike folding them. Pull them out of the dryer and leave them on the bed, so my husband will have to fold them before he goes to sleep. (He goes to sleep a lot earlier than I do.) But when I do fold them, I fold them in half (my daughter would say, like a hamburger) and tuck the corners into the other corners. I don't know how to describe it, but I will fold a little bit in to make it have a more square corner than a rounded one. From there I do the best I can to keep folding in halfs and smoothing it out until it is the size I want. Then I fold the top sheet really nice and put it onto of the bottom one. That way it will help hide the fact I didn't fold the bottom one very well.

yes, these are my least favorite to fold as well! i usually save them for last, and then i don't end up doing them for days. lol i bet there is some kind of how-to video out there somewhere... i am going to look it up! lol thanks for the reply, suki! :)
