    Flat sheets together, fitted sheets together, pillowcases (ironed) together.
    Towels - grouped by type and colour, so the stacks are even lol I am totally OCD about my linen press (thanks Mum! xo lol) Bath towels together, hand towels together, bathmats together and flannels together.

    If you press your folded flat sheets with an iron after you have folded then you will find they flatten quite a ways without having to iron the sheet itself

    I have a seperate pile for facewashers & handtowels then I put set of towles together folded.

    My linen is folded but in sets (ie: pillow cases, top & bottom sheet, doona cover)

    Any blankets/sheet sets I am not currently using (ie: cot ones) I store in the plastic cover that other linen I have bought has come in.

    I have nothing much to offer i am sorry, But i do fold the pillow cases into the flat sheet and then put that in the last fold of the doona cover so that i dont loose any bits, the only bit left out is the fitted sheet then

    i am loving the suggestions about storing in a pillow slip... do you use a seperate one, or one from the set?
    Also great suggestion about pressing the sheets after folding (thats my type of ironing!)

    I also have trouble with the fitted sheets - they are impossible to fold down small..
    I will often wash/dry and remake the bed to avoid the linen cupboard too, but this thread has inspired me a littel to try and sort it out again

    No linen cupboard

    There is a set of open shelves for the towels - the girls can help themselves
    The facewasher go in a drawer in the bathroom.
    Bedding goes on the upper shelf of the wardrobe of the bedroom it belongs in.
    All spare bedding and extra are in the dresser in the spare bedroom.

    Other than the towels (they are in the hall), everything is in room where it is used.
