Neatly folded things are a guarantee of not only a neat appearance, but also order in the closet, and saving time for ironing. In such a closet, you do not need to look for the desired T-shirt for several minutes, and then also turn on the iron to iron it. Let's figure out how to fold a T-shirt in a few seconds.
Popular quick ways
There are many ways to fold a T-shirt quickly and neatly. Let's consider a few life hacks. If you need to fold a T-shirt or T-shirt not in a closet, but, for example, in a drawer or in a suitcase, such a simple and compact way will suit you.
- Iron the T-shirt and let it cool down to prevent wrinkles from locking in during folding.
- Spread it out on a flat surface.
- Fold the bottom edge of the product 15-20 cm.
- Divide the shirt vertically into three equal parts and fold the right and then the left to the center.
- Roll the resulting rectangle into a tight roller.
Ready! Now your T-shirt takes up a minimum of space and is ready to travel in a suitcase or bag. For greater security, you can turn the fold out and slide it over the roller. Then your T-shirt will not unfold.
Japanese
The method of folding things at three points came to us from the Land of the Rising Sun. It was created so that you can roll your clothes even without a large table.
- Lay the T-shirt right side up. Draw an even, imaginary line from the middle of the shoulder down to the very edge of the shirt. Also, in your head, divide the resulting segment into two equal parts. Point 1 is the shoulder, point 2 is the middle of the shirt, and point 3 is the hem.
- Take the shirt with your left hand at point 1, and with your right hand at point 2.
- Without letting go of the shirt at point 1 and keeping your left hand under your right, take the fabric at point 3 with it.
- Turn the shirt a little clockwise and shake it to flatten it.
- Roll up the second sleeve of the shirt. The thing is neatly folded, and you didn't even have to resort to extraneous means.
It can be tricky to repeat this sequence on the first try, but with a little practice, you will be able to do it without even thinking.
Italian
This is another easy way to fold your clothes quickly and without the hassle.
- Take the item in your hands so that in one hand is the shoulder, and in the other is the bottom of the T-shirt.
- Fold the sleeve so that it is at the back along with a narrow strip of fabric.
- Now fold the bottom of the shirt under the top so that the neckline and bottom line are flush.
- Tuck the remaining protruding sleeve under the neck as well.
This is another easy way to fold all your belongings quickly and compactly. All he needs is a T-shirt and a flat table.
As in the store
If you want the shelves in your closet to look as good as on the shelves in the store, this is very easy to do. Two variants of the same method are known at once.
Option one:
- lay the T-shirt with the front side down;
- bend the sleeve together with 1⁄3 of the product to the center;
- now fold the T-shirt in half lengthwise, smooth out all the irregularities;
- Fold the second sleeve so that the rectangle turns out to be even.
Option two:
- as in the first method, tuck one sleeve towards the center, but now you need to do the same with the second sleeve to get an even strip of fabric;
- fold the bottom of the T-shirt 10-15 cm;
- fold the resulting rectangle in half.
Children's way
Even a child can be taught to fold a T-shirt beautifully according to this pattern. There is even a special light method called baby. It consists of four simple steps.
- Lay the T-shirt face down on the table.
- Smooth out any wrinkles or wrinkles so they don't stick to your clothing.
- Roll the sleeves of the shirt towards the center.
- Now fold the resulting rectangle twice. First vertically and then horizontally.
How to fold by weight?
There are times when there is no flat surface nearby on which things could be neatly laid out. Especially for such cases, a method of folding in one movement was invented. However, this method does not guarantee a perfectly flat rectangle.
- Take the shirt so that the front side is on top.
- Mentally divide it lengthwise into three equal parts and fold it back one third.
- Now fold the item in half lengthwise, and gently tuck the second sleeve.
This way you can quickly put things right on the shelf or anywhere else.
Using special tools
There are several types of tools that can help you fold things neatly and neatly. And it is not necessary to buy them in the store, because you can make them yourself.
Lattice
One of the most common devices can rightfully be considered a lattice with special curved edges. Its size is about 70 by 60 cm, which corresponds to the average size of a T-shirt. But even if your clothes are a little larger, no big deal, the fixture is versatile. It's incredibly easy to work with.
- Place the wire rack on the table. Lay the T-shirt on top of it with the front side down.
- Bend the sides of the grate one at a time.
- If the edge of the product extends beyond the bottom edge of the grill, fold it over and fold the bottom section.
Board
The special folding board is much more compact than the grid, but it is also convenient to use. Just place it in the center of the shirt, and then fold all the edges one by one. Before bending the last one, pull out the board. Now all of your clothes will be neatly folded into rectangles of the same size.
Advice
If you need to fold a long-sleeved shirt or sweater, either of these methods will work too. Just fold the sleeves down when folding, along the product - so that they do not stick out at the edges and bottom. If your shirts are too long or too wide to make a neat rectangle, just fold it in half after all the manipulation. So the clothes will not lose their aesthetic appearance and will not take up too much space.
It is easy to learn how to fold things beautifully and neatly. You just need to choose the method that suits you best. Don't use multiple methods at once. It is better to choose one and fold all the clothes with it the same way.
