how to do you fold/put away those sheets that cover the bed before the sheet?

Unless I have a second person to help me, mine are not neat at all. To solve that part of my problem I get DH, DD or DS to help. They take one side, I take the other. We match up the elastic edges and fold. We then take my elastic edge and match it to theirs', keeping the straight (non-elastic edges) together, neat and straight. We continue to fold until all elastic edges are on the inside.
To make them all have a uniform look, once everything is folded, I place the fitted, flat and extra pillow cases inside a pillow case.

Yep, just like it says.
If you don't have someone to help....tuck all the elastic corners inside one another and lay it all on a bed......start folding from there. That is what I have to do. It is 'passable' when I am done and fits in the cupboard..........that is all I care about.

I started putting my sheets inside the pillow case for storage last year. No more missing pillow cases and everything looks neat. As for how I fold the fitted sheet, I just match the corners and do the best I can , it really doesn't matter now that they are out of sight.

You should try to fold a Cal King, It's much harder than a full, but I get them to look OK.

For us, we have different sheets for different seasons.
3 beds - 2 sets of flannel sheets for winter and 2 sets of cotton or t-shirt sheets for summer for each bed. Plus, I replace the sheets as good sales on high thread counts come up. Then I do not throw out the old ones. They become doggie and kitty blankets.
Currently, we have around 13 or 14 full sets of sheets and an additional 5 or 6 mismatched ones that are for the furry babies.

This is exactly how I fold mine, 'cept I don't lay it out on a table or anything. I just do it by holding it up in my hands. But if you have someone else help to fold them, it does go quicker.
I think like anything else, the more you do it, the easier it becomes.
