Following on the heels of my previous post on wrapping books, here is a how-to video on folding a shirt. This is for all my mommy blogger-friends, especially Cess, who just conquered a pile of laundry the other day. On second thought, those who are still single will also benefit from this video…
The first time I saw this video was when our son M1, who had just come back from a China trip as part of their school curriculum, showed me a video he captured on his digicam. His China program coordinator had shown this to them while they were abroad and the boys thought it was just so cool. Unfortunately, the video was NOT in English and I have seen versions of it in Japanese as well.
Whenever hubby traveled, my role in the packing involved folding all the shirts he would bring. I think I did a pretty job of it though sometimes I could not align the shoulder folds equally on both sides and had to re-do the folds.
Thankfully, a quick search on YouTube produced several home videos done in English. This was the best I could find so far, more so since the guy who produced this showed both a short-sleeved and long-sleeved version.
Thanks to Screeners Choice for posting this.

uy, i remember this t-shirt folding trick. it was featured in Martha some two weeks ago, i think. thanks for sharing this Jane. 🙂 i too have a different way of folding shirts.
@Cess, Feng – Ang galing, no? From now on, folding shirts will be a cinch. Turo ko kaya ito sa plantsadora ko? hehehe….
Great!! My sister was trying to demonstrate this to me to no avail. Galing!
@Kongkong – Good luck in your attempts!
Malamang abutin ako ng 10 years pag ginawa ko yan hehe! :p
@Mitchteryosa – Pareho tayo, pero siguro hindi 10. Mga 5 years lang, hehehe. 🙂
What a neat trick? But won’t pinching the fabric create creases?
