My Grandmother ironed sheets too. She ironed everything! I remember the bottle she used with the holes poked on top of it. She'd be appalled to know I just hang my jeans up when they come out of the dryer and wear them un-ironed :shock: :-P

Yes, I fold my sheets.

granny used a bottle had water in it an she would sprinkle water on what ever she ironed. Simpler times i guess

My mom had a Mogan David wine bottle that she used for sprinkle her ironing? :-D I got to do the pillow cases and hankerchiefs.

So do I! Thought I might be the only one left with a clothesline in my backyard. My neighbors think I'm loony.

I am so excited..I watched the video that Cottage Dee posted..and when I fold my sheets...thats how I do mine. So I am actually doing something right. ha ha ha. I normally just take my sheets off..wash..dry...and right back on the bed. As I love that nice fresh smell and if they are placed in the closet, by the time I use them, that awesome smell is gone.

yup, I fold them and swap out sets just about every time I change the bed. I just LOVE "fresh sheet night"! I admit to not doing a great job with the fitted one, so now I'm off to watch the video.

My SIL still irons her sheets. When I do laundry for her, I tell her that I'm a good SIL, but NOT that good! She has to suffer with un-ironed. LOL!

Edditted to say:....cool, thats how I do them, just not as neatly as he does...but did ya'll notice the quilt on the bed??

I like to fold them right out of the dryer. I worked in a retail linen store for six years. Part of my job was to repackage opened and returned items.

I fold mine and like my linen c,oset very neat

Believe it or not Bluteddy there are people who don't fold laundry.I help my Aunt clean her house The first time I opened her linen closet I had one of those mini-strokes as it all avalanched on top of me.She wollered things into balls and pushed it in I was horrified by the mess I spent hours folding and arranging and pitching things On her next laundry day I was there to show her how easy it is to fold sheets into sets for easy stacking I can't imagine getting into a bed where the sheets are all crinkled and wrinkled

Nope! I take them out of the dryer and put them right back on my bed.
