  • Today I'm going to show you how to fold a shirt

  • In under 2 seconds.

  • Start by taking a short sleeved shirt, and lying it out on its back

  • Then we need to draw an imaginary line half way between the top and bottom of the shirt

  • roughly here

  • and another one half way between the centre line of the shirt and the outside edge, about here.

  • We'll call the point where the lines cross "A"

  • The top point "B" and the bottom "C"

  • Start by pinching the shirt at point "A" with your left hand,

  • pick up point "B" with your right hand, then cross your right hand over to pick up point "C"

  • Next quickly unfold your arms, then finally use the table to fold the shirt back on itself.

  • This method works with any short sleeved top from T-shirts, polo tops and shirts

  • and with a bit of practice can be done very quickly.
