#1. The Basic Fold
#1. The Basic FoldWe’ll start with the easiest fold first: t-shirt folding 101.
Lay your shirt face down and smooth out any wrinkles. Imagine a vertical line running down the center of the shirt and then fold it in half along this line so the opposing sleeves touch.
You should now have something that resembles a t-shirt cut in half. Fold the sleeves back and over the body before folding the whole garment in half again, lengthwise.
Smooth out the material one final time before folding once more.
You now have a compact, clean fold. Quick and easy!
