Folding Skills

Okay, I'm lifting shamelessly from the most excellent blog, Unclutterer. But it fits DIRECTLY with an ongoing conversation we've been having around our house. I won't recount the positions or the arguments being made here, but I will post constructively-oriented, skills-based discussion about how to improve space usage through folding techniques:

As I looked at the two sacks of sheets at the bottom of our closet, I realized it wasn’t the best use of space. I don’t fold well and to get around this I simply shove sheets into a pillowcase. The fitted sheet is always the one that makes the whole process aggravating. Real Simple has a how-to guide on efficient ways to fold just about anything. Here’s their step-by-step instructions on how to conquer the dreaded fitted sheet. The whole “How to Fold Anything” page can be found here.

Properly folding sheets, towels, or clothing can save you quite a bit of space. Whether you are packing for a trip or just putting things away in your dresser or closet. Take a little time to fold things well and the space you save will be worth the time.

My most favorite? How to fold a fitted sheet

I also posted about linen storage techniques way back when, here.
