I found this video sometime last year and have been folding my shirts super fast in this method since. It rocks donkey butt. You'll save big time for the rest of your life if you do all your shirts in this method.

Follow the video here:

Fun math calculations 4 u said:
Assume you wash 10 shirts a week, taking 10 seconds folding each = 1 minute 40 seconds used folding shirts.
In 1 year, you spent 1 hour, 27 minutes folding 527 shirts.

Now if you do this method:
2 seconds per shirt, 10 a week = 20 seconds a week
In 1 year, you spent 17 minutes and 40 seconds folding 527 shirts!

In 20 years @ 10 seconds a shirt: ~29 hours!
In 20 years @ 02 seconds a shirt: ~ 5 hours and 45 minutes (!)

This is up to you if you want to make the time investment of your life.
This figure scales up tremendously if you fold shirts for your kids or family.

Which part are you confused about? I can try to explain for you.
 
I remember seeing this years ago. I've tried it. It works. :)
 
Whoa! That's a neat trick! Hard to see the hands though. I'll keep rewatching until I get the idea how it is done.
 
Pretty cool!...With 3 teenagers, I gotta try this....I wash 3 loads of laundry a day!
 
Cool! I just tried it and it works. I am not sure if I like the sleeve part hanging out in the back.
 
#1

Here's how to do it if it looks difficult:

1) Pinch up the middle of the shirt at the other side away from you (Right hand)
2) Pinch the collar/top of the shirt with your other hand (Left hand)
3) Pull over hand in #2 and hold both collar and bottom of shirt. Hold this still. (Left hand moved, right hand stays)
4) Pull hand in #1 across (Left hand stays, Right hand moves right)
5) You're almost done, just fold it like they do in the video and you're done.

Yeah I thought about that too the first time, eh, I got used to it after I started stacking up the folded shirts.
 
I was folding up clothes, towels etc last night so I did try this. LOL

But I did found a easier step by step video.

(There's caption on this video but need to turn on Transcribe Audio.)

So for fun I also did looked up on youtube how to fold socks in different ways. :)
 
I have umpteen million t-shirts, this will be a big help. Thanks!
 
Only problem I have is, it leaves them too big to fit in my drawers. I need them folded into a smaller package due to space.
