5. Can you post how you did it. |
|
I watched it and have no clue how it got to be a folded shirt with almost no wrinkles.

Just as shown, pinch the shirt in the center-ish area, then grasp at the shoulder point straight up from where you're pinching (make sure you have both layers of cloth in the pinch).
Pick up the shirt from the shoulder pinched area and take that with you down to the hem area and pinch the hem, picking it up so that now you're pinching both the shoulder and hem area, and pull them so that the first centerish pinched area is pulled through underneath.
This is a good example of why a picture is worth a thousand words, lol
When you actually try it, you'll see how easy is is -- what the video doesn't show clearly is that you're pulling the center-pinched cloth *through* the fold made by the pinched shoulder-and-hem thingy.
Man, it's hard to describe in words

12. That's actually how I fold my tshirts... |
|
...I saw this video about 2 years ago, tried it, and you would not believe how much time you save by folding tshirts this way. It's not nearly as tricky as it seems.

15. I taught this to my 12-year-old son tonight |
|
He was amazed when I did it, and twice as amazed when he did it himself.
This might actually inspire him to put his clothes away.
