The Two-Second Way to Fold a T-Shirt The disadvantage of this method for folding a T-shirt is that you can't control the width of the fold-it will always be proportional to the size of the T-shirt. But once you get the hang of it, you can use this method to fold any T-shirt in just a couple of seconds. Lay the T-shirt face up on a flat surface so that one side of the T-shirt is closest to you. The neck of the T-shirt should be to your right. Imagine a horizontal line across the middle of the T-shirt. With the thumb and pointer finger of your left hand, pinch the shirt on this line, at a spot about 3" from the edge of the shirt closest to you. Make sure you've pinched both layers of T-shirt fabric. Now imagine a line that extends from the first pinch spot straight up to the neck of the T-shirt. Pinch that spot with the thumb and pointer finger of your right hand. Again, make sure you've pinched both layers of fabric. Imagine that the line that extends between the two spots where you've pinched now extends down to the bottom of the shirt. Still pinching the neck of the shirt with your right hand, cross your right hand behind your left and pinch at the spot where the line hits the bottom of the shirt. Your arms should now be crossed, with your right arm behind your left, and your right hand pinching four layers of fabric. Securely holding the T-shirt with both hands, lift and uncross your hands. The T-shirt should now be dangling from between your two raised hands, with the left sleeve of the shirt hanging down furthest. Lower the T-shirt onto the flat surface so that the left sleeve that is dangling behind the T-shirt folds back behind the rest of the shirt as you lay it down. The Traditional "Retail" Way to Fold a T-Shirt The retail method for folding a T-shirt has the advantage of allowing you to control how wide the folded T-shirt will be. Lay the T-shirt face down on a flat surface with its bottom edge closest to you. Smooth out the shirt as much as possible. Make vertical folds along the left and right sides of the shirt to the desired width. Fold the sleeves back across the fold. Make a horizontal fold to fold the shirt in half. Flip the shirt over. http://www.quamut.com/qua...how_to_fold_a_tshirt.html Last Edited By: Hamdingers 09/08/08 11:05 AM. Edited 2 times.

If you use this method for folding, the blanket will pull right up over you. Spread the throw blanket flat across the bed. Hook your fingers on either side of the blanket along an imaginary line a third of the way up the blanket. If you can't reach wide enough to hook your fingers, pinch the blanket in two places along the line. Pull the line back until it's flush with the blanket edge at the foot of the bed. Hook your fingers or pinch the blanket along the imaginary line that splits the remaining unfolded material of the blanket in half. Pull the line back until it's flush with the blanket edge at the foot of the bed. After these two folds, the blanket will be folded into fifths. From a side view, the layers of the blankets will form a series of S-curves, and the end of the top layer should be pointing toward the head of the bed.

Towels folded in this way also unfold easily. Lay the towel on a flat surface and smooth away any wrinkles. Fold the towel into thirds along its length-fold the leftmost third over the middle third, then fold this already folded section over the rightmost section. Fold the remaining strip into thirds, following the method used in step 2.

No longer. Lay the fitted sheet out on a bed or another flat surface with the elastic on top. Make sure that the elastic is turned in all the way around. Fold the sheet in half so the elastic is matched up. Lift the sheet by the elastic with arms outstretched so that all of the elastic is at the top of the fitted sheet. Find the two corners at the left end of the sheet and extend your hands into the corners so that the corners fold over on themselves toward you. Repeat with the two corners on the right side of the sheet. Bring your two hands together, so that the index or pointer finger of each hand are touching each other through the corners of the fabric. Spread your right hand wide, and fold the two corners of fabric on your right hand over the corners on your left hand. All of the fabric should now be draped over your left hand. Lay the sheet flat on a bed or another flat surface. The sheet should form a rough square, and the elastic on top should form almost a semicircle. Fold the fitted sheet into thirds to form a strip. Fold the strip lengthwise into thirds to form a square.

Folded like the pic below, but placed differently.
