folding clothing Quotes

“Clothing storage: Fold it right and solve your storage problems...The goal is to fold each piece of clothing into a simple, smooth rectangle.”

“Every piece of clothing has its own ‘sweet spot’ where it feels just right.”

“Arrange your clothes so that they rise to the right . . . lines that slope up to the right make people feel comfortable.”

“Folding socks . . . Place one sock on top of the other and follow the same principles as those for folding clothing. For low-cut socks that just cover the feet, folding twice is enough; for ankle socks, three times; for knee socks and over-knee socks, four to six times . . . Store the socks on edge, just as you did for clothing.”

“First, fold each lengthwise side of the garment toward the center (such as the left-hand, then right-hand, sides of a shirt) and tuck the sleeves in to make a long rectangle shape. It doesn’t matter how you fold the sleeves. Next pick up one short end of the rectangle and fold it toward the other short end. Then fold again, in the same manner, in halves or in thirds. The number of folds should be adjusted so that the folded clothing when standing on edge fits the height of the drawer.”
