You’re Folding Your Shirts Wrong!

Okay, so if I’ve got a folded shirt to put on in the morning, then I can declare victory and call it a day. But not everyone is forced to live in a loosey goosey Organic Freedom/Smart Freedom household like my family, so today we’ve got enough ways to fold a shirt to satisfy all the Pixie Organizing Types. So here’s the easiest way to fold your shirt, the armed forces way to fold a shirt, and the London tailor tissue paper way.

This topic was on our PixieTips idea list and I gravitated towards it because as an Organic Freedom I have random tidy idiosyncrasies and folding shirts is one of them. I worked in a souvenir shop one summer and spent the whole time listening to Wilson Phillips and Sinead O’Connor as I folded T-Shirts. It was a brutally mind-numbing experience, but at least I became a BOSS of folding t-shirts. Or so I thought. Then I saw that Crazy Russian Hacker dude or maybe it was the publishing sensation Marie Kondo and her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up…. but I watched someone do this crazy easy trick which involves pinching your t-shirt and twisting it and voila! Folded shirt. That’s the easiest way. I know you Funs will get behind the clever engineering of this. You’ll also dig the efficiency of the army way too. But I dunno about the London tailor tissue paper way. That might be just for you fastidious Classics who care enough to take the time it seems to entail.

You Organic Structures/Smart Structures who have been muddling through folding shirts without even thinking about it because who wastes time thinking about such mundane crap?! Yes, just keep folding your shirts like you always do, cuz if it ain’t broke no need to waste time fixing. Life should be easy!
