Folding laundry is never fun. It seems to take forever, and there is always more to do. Sometimes it seems like the cycle will never end. Perhaps worst of all are the bed sheets (although personally I dread matching socks the most).

Every other article of clothing is small enough to easily fold on one’s own. Sheets, however, are much longer than the average person’s arms, and they are super tall. Folding one by yourself can be tricky, especially if you have never been shown the proper way to do it.

Even of the bedding, there is a type of sheet that is the most frustrating to fold: the fitted bed sheet. Unlike the other sheets, which have nice, crisp corners, the fitted bed sheet has rounded edges and elastic corners for folding around your mattress.

It can be more confusing to keep track of these corners while folding, and it is WAY more difficult to make it look nice on the shelf. The rest of your cabinet may be in perfect alignment, but one messy sheet can drag the whole aesthetic down.
