Routine To Me

I was cleaning today and doing some laundry when one of the boys asked why I was putting the sheets in a pillowcase. I thought I would share my storage system for bed linens.

First I fold the flat, fitted sheets and the second pillowcase if there is one. Then I store them in the other pillowcase by neatly using the pillowcase as a sack and folding the extra length over like a flap. When the sheets are folded I have a tube for each bed size, appropriately labeled, which I store the sheet sets in.

The best part of this is when I strip the bed to change sheets. At that time all I have to do is grab a pillowcase and I know I have a full set of clean sheets.
