Quick Tip…

This tip is hardly new….but it is new to me. I actually found this yesterday online, but I discovered it for myself this weekend. I have never liked folding contour (fitted) sheets. They always ended up in a ball, were never neat, and were awkward to store. So I did a quick Google search for a video on how to fold them, and found several. Once I had the contour sheet folded, I decided to stack it with the flat sheet and a single pillowcase, then I put the entire stack into the second pillowcase and folded the open end of the second pillowcase over. Now, our linen closet has ample room for storing six complete sets of linens on a single shelf, and there is no need to search for matching pieces of each set…and the contour sheets no longer fall off the shelf. Inspired, I think.  To keep your linens fresh, place a fabric softener sheet in each of the containing pillowcases. The really nice thing is that I can grab a single case and have the complete set of linens to make the bed. I can also easily store extra linens in the guest room without using much closet space.
