Remember, when you buy new replacement sheets...


We had some old sheets on our bed. One time I had a problem with rough heels and there appeared a hole in the sheet where my feet were. The hole was about a foot square by the time I got around to fixing it.

I just got out the sewing machine and took an old shirt on which the sleeves and collar had frayed and cut off the back. That was large enough to patch the hole.

The sheet was white and the shirt was plaid, but the patch was at the bottom of the bed and covered by the rest of the covers. And 99% of the time I'm using the bedroom the lights are out.

Use it up
Wear it out
Make it do
or do without.



Of course the CFO (Chief Fashion Officer) went out and bought new sheets.

I just wad them up. What’s the point of folding something amorphous? It’s not 1921… No one irons sheets these days.

Jerry, my daughterinlaw knows the secret formula for folding a fitted sheet. When she's finished, it's a perfect rectangle shape and nice and flat.

Remember, when you buy new replacement sheets, buy ones with stripes running head to foot. This helps alignment problems.


Definitely!
