front side down...fold the shoulders back then fold into thirds from the bottom up.

12. Easy!

For fitted sheets, you put your fists inside of two of the corners; bring your one fist to meet your other and allow the corner to go over top of the other corner. This will make the edge fold somewhat, so you get a neater crease. Then do the same thing to the other two corners, and bring them to the first corner so you make a rectangle. Lay it down flat and complete the folding.
Voila!

17. Here's what I do for fitted sheets

I take them off the bed, wash and dry them, then put them back on the bed. Easy peasy, and no folding!

8. Folding board

Hate to do a info commercial here but I use a folding board. It's a plastic thingie that helps you line up the creases and makes very neat folds.

I am extremely uncoordinated and for the life of me could not even fold a towel. I have limited space and need to have things folded to fit in my drawers.

I don't know where you can get one of these doohickies-I'm not even sure what they are really called- But they do work and even my kid likes to use it.

10. this is no laughing matter!

I once had an ex-boyfriend who mainly dressed in t-shirts and jeans. When I did the laundry, I'd just lay the t-shirt down on the bed, fold it up, and stack them up. One day he caught me doing so and became upset. He told me I must first shake the t-shirt a few times because it adds an inch or so to its length. He was a tall guy. I didn't believe him so I got a tape measure and we tested it. Sure enough, he was right.

Some people take their folding far too seriously. If it's somewhat folded and in a drawer, good enough for me. I don't even match socks any longer -- just throw them in a big drawer.

Isn't their some magic folder thingie that one can buy? Saw it advertised on TV. It claims to fold perfectly.

15. Any guy who would complain

after you do his laundry is an a-hole.

11. Get to the TV

and buy one of those blue, plastic folding things. I did just because I thought it looked like it just might work and it really does. My tees are so smooth and fit so nicely in a drawer. No help with fitted sheets. They are really easy though, just go slow and try to make it all even after the first fold, then fold it like a regular sheet. Tuck the sheets into a matching pillowcase and you are set.

14. you're kidding, right...?

i'm 'self-taught' on the subject...it really isn't that hard to figure out.

except for those goddamn fitted sheets.
