Linen folding template

摘要

A folding template for a fitted sheet includes an elongated panel having a length slightly greater than the neutral width of an elastic end of the fitted sheet, and a width that is less than one-third the length of the fitted sheet. The panel is divided into four segments separated by a hinge configured so that the panel can be folded laterally inward with the fitted sheet engaged around the panel. In a method for folding a fitted sheet, the folding template is engaged in one elastic end of the sheet, spanning the width of the sheet. The template is repeatedly flipped over width-wise along the fitted sheet while maintaining the length of the template intact. Once the template reaches the opposite end of the sheet, the panel is folded inward on itself to a reduced configuration including the fitted sheet.

1. A folding template for a fitted sheet with elastic ends having a length and a neutral width when the elastic ends are not stretched, the template comprising:
an elongated panel having a length at least equal to the neutral width of the fitted sheet and a width that is less than ⅓ the length of the fitted sheet; said panel divided into at least four segments separated by hinges extending perpendicular to said length, wherein the closing direction of the hinges alternates between segments, and further wherein said hinges are configured so that said segments fold substantially flat when a sheet is positioned within the hinge.
