The Best Way to fold a tshirt
Folding a t-shirt might seem like a simple task, but doing it the right way can save you space and keep your clothes looking neat. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fold a t-shirt like a pro:
- Lay the t-shirt flat on a surface, with the front side facing up.
- Imagine a vertical line down the center of the shirt. Pinch the top of the shirt at the shoulder, about halfway between the collar and the sleeve.
- Bring that pinched point to the center of the collar, creating a diagonal fold across the top of the shirt.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of the shirt.
- Fold the shirt in half by bringing the bottom hem up to the collar, with the sleeves facing outward.
- Fold the shirt in half again, bringing the bottom hem up to the middle fold.
- If desired, you can fold the shirt in thirds for a narrower fold.
By following these steps, you'll have a perfectly folded t-shirt that takes up minimal space in your drawer or on your shelf. This method works well for most t-shirts, but you may need to adjust the folds slightly for shirts with unusual shapes or sizes.
