Fitted Sheet

Good morning! So it's only day 2 of my blog but I'm just going to jump right in and save your life! Haha okay, that might be a slight exaggeration but I am going to show you how to properly fold a fitted sheet. Last year, when I was working, I taught one of my co-workers how to fold her fitted sheet and I swear she thanked me for it at least once a month. It really does make a difference. No more wadded up sheets! My mom taught me this when I got my 1st apartment. My tiny aparment had absolutely no storage space. 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a livingroom, 1 closet, and a "kitchen". The kitchen was just a fridge, stove, microwave, and a sink. There was 2 counter tops, the one the sink was in and the one the microwave sat on. Living in this apartment was my husband, myself, and our newborn son. So let's just say every inch counts when you are that tight on space and believe it or not being able to fold my fitted sheet nice and smooth really helped.
First I'lm going to write out verbal instructions, to the best of my ability. I will then have a post that is mostly just step by step picture instructions. Good luck. Feel free to ask for help, I'll try to be as detailed as possible.

1. Wash your sheets!
2. Dry your sheets!
3. Pat yourself on the back! :)
4. Fold your sheet in half
5. Align the corners
6. Now, turn 1 side's corners inside out
7. Put the inside out corners inside the other side's corners
8. Use your index fingers to make sure the corners a good and lined up
9. Once your corners are good and aligned, fold your sheet in half again
10. Then again
11. Keep folding it in half until it's just right!
12. Voila!
13. Now pat yourself on the back again!
14. Jump up and down like a little girl, screaming "I did it!"
15. Take a break, you deserve it!
