Amazing Video: How to Fold a Shirt

No, it's not a trick, it really works. Unless you speak Japanese, you will have trouble figuring it out for a little while. The trick is, after they cut to the second part after the first fold, you must take your right finger and thumb and grip the entire shirt, top and bottom sides, not just what you start out gripping.

Here's a full translation:

Quote:
"Start by laying the Tshirt flat and sideways in front of you, neck opening to your right. Find the centerpoint on the far side and pinch it with your left hand, about two inches in from the far edge.

With your right hand, draw a line from your left hand to the right edge of the tshirt, parallel to the edge of the shirt. This brings your right hand to the neck-opening side of the shirt. Grasp the edge with your right hand.

Now, while maintaining your grip, cross your right hand over your left, towards the opposite (waist-opening) end of the tshirt. Maintain the same imaginary line you've been working on (about two inches from the far edge of the shirt, parallel to the edge) and add the new edge to the grasp of your right hand.

This is where the magic happens. Simply uncross your hands and extend them in front of you, lifting the shirt perpendicular to the floor. Complete the fold by letting the loose arm hole drop to the floor and folding the shirt in half over it!


I did a search but didn't find anything mentioned here about folding shirts, so I guess it hasn't been posted before.

I think it was posted here.. might have been another forum.
Indeed it's an awsome trick...
I tried it, couldn't do it, gave up after a couple attempts. I think I'll try to get it down .. I have to pack for going home, so I have all my shirts to pack. I'm sure I'll get it down before I am finished packing.
didn't have the translation before, that might be a little help.

I just did, it's a lot easier once you read the translation. Really cool trick though. The hardest parts are getting the distances down for diferent sized shirts, and how to pinch the shirt to get the layers to overlap nicely.

Very cool indeed.

WOAH! BLUJAY LIVES! I'm sure you've been posting, and I've just not noticed. Anywho, yeah, this is a cool trick. Amazingly enough, I got it on the first try, after reading your translation and with your tips. Cool stuff.

I keep ending up with the left sleeve sticking out... I must be missing something.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

it's supposed to

once you're holding it in the air (after uncrossing your arms), the front of the shirt should be facing towards you

lay the shirt front-down, the left sleeve should be sticking out on the side opposite of you

take the two corners closest to you (the ones you were just holding on to), and fold the shirt over the left sleeve

it took me a few minutes to figure it out too, but if you watch the video carefully, that's how he does it. practice it for a minute or so while watching the video and you should get it
Moo.

I'll try this when it's not 4 am.... my roommate would give me the weirdest look if he woke up to me folding shirts.

This could really speed up my laundry-folding time. If only there was something for pants and underwear, too.

And bras.

Anyway...

I saw and learned to do this a couple months ago.

It only takes about five minutes to learn, and it's so cool. I showed my mom, and she dropped her glass of water.
The day I learned, I folded all the shirts in the house. Twice.
