A TEE IN TWO
How to fold a t-shirt in under two minutes (or is it two seconds?), from the ingenious Japanese. They invented Origami after all. After you watch this, you’ll say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
FINELY FITTED
This is something I learned from cousins on my dad’s side. (They’re the scary ones who cross-stitch in their sleep and give Martha Stewart a run for her money.) It’s a way to fold fitted sheets so that they come out to perfect rectangles, cutting down on bulk for neater storage in the linen closet.
NAPKINS? NEAT-O!
I have a secret desire to learn how to fold dinner napkins into elaborate shapes. I think it comes from memories of fashioning stuff from those ubiquitous hankies we used to have growing up. I remember how, out of sheer boredom during recess, we would use hankies to fold everything from bras to babies in hammocks!
Here’s how to fold a pocket from a table napkin to tuck your cutlery into. I’m sure this would work with chopsticks too. Add a small flower or slim leaf for effortless elegance at the dinner table.
There are many more ways to play around with napkin-folding HERE. Like these:

The Lover's Knot
Have fun folding, everyone!
* Did anyone get my Kenny Rogers reference, I wonder?

LOVE that sheet folding! I always get into trouble folding those sheets into perfect rectangles. So THAT's how it's done pala. Haha, thanks!
I do believe Martha Stuart has taken credit for the two-second sheet folding technique. Not sure if she's claiming it as her own, but I do remember her going on various talk shows and showing it to everyone.
I'd never take the time to do that fitted sheet thing. I roll mine up into a nice ball and then shove it into my closet anywhere it'll fit...
No more wrestling with the sheets, Toni!
Jen, do you REALLY do that to those sheets?!?! It's super easy and quick once you know how. And yes, Ms. Stewart DOES have this technique but I don't know if it's been patented.
