How to learn to pack things correctly, neatly and compactly?

When buying a new wardrobe item, we usually want them to serve us as long as possible, not to be tired, and also not to take up much space in the wardrobe, chest of drawers or any other place where this thing should be. And if everyone can extend the service life of clothes, then it is not possible for many to make it compact. The secret is how to pack things right, because such knowledge helps many housewives to save space.

How to fold skirts?

Perhaps the majority of the fair sex will be interested to know how to fold skirts correctly. Of course, each skirt, if space permits, can be hung on a separate hanger, but we are now interested in more practical and compact storage options.

It will be much more successful to do as follows:

1. fold the skirt in half;
2. roll the skirt into a tight roll;
3. put it where you want it.

This method will be convenient for everyday storage of skirts, and for traveling, when you need to put the skirt in a suitcase or bag so that it does not wrinkle.

What to do with socks?

If wearing a T-shirt or silk blouse is a matter of taste, then socks are such a piece of clothing that everyone has in their wardrobe. Men and women, boys and girls all use socks. And, alas, not everyone knows how to fold them correctly and accurately. There is a method that grandmothers used: take two socks and an elastic band of one of them, as it were, to tie both. The method is good, but it is worth improving.

1. Take both socks.
2. Add the part where there is no elastic band (where the fingers are located in the process of wearing) to the heel.
3. With the rubber of one of the socks, we wrap both socks so that the folded parts are fixed.
4. We remove all this bag in the intended place.

What is the fate of jumpers, shirts, t-shirts and blouses?

In the wardrobe of the vast majority of people, regardless of their gender, there is something with a long sleeve: sweatshirts, jumpers, sweaters, shirts, polos and many other items. They also need to be stored neatly and compactly.

It is best to fold in just-ironed things, which is why we recommend starting the process with ironing and cooling clothes.

1. All buttons are fastened on the shirt, and then it is placed with the front side (where the buttons are) down.
2. The edges of the shirt are neatly straightened.
3. The sleeves are straightened perpendicular to the main part, and then folded so that the cuffs coincide with the lower border of the shirt.
4. The lower part folds with the sleeves in half.
5. A folded shirt turns upside down and fits where it is allocated.

We described the method using an example of a shirt, but in fact it is suitable for all long-sleeved clothes, and it will also help answer the question “how to fold a jacket?” By the way, on the basis of the above points of the algorithm, you can also create your own ideal way to fold a T-shirt.

How to lay trousers or jeans?

Pants and jeans are also present in the wardrobe of most people, and therefore every housewife or master must know how to fold them correctly. It is very simple.

1. Pants or jeans are straightened, and then the leg is folded to the leg.
2. The bottom is attracted to the top, i.e. trousers fold in half.
3. The resulting folds in half again.

So jeans and trousers keep their accuracy and do not take up much space.

Some types of trousers can be rolled up by the same algorithm, rather than folded.We also note that most things can be folded this way, even outerwear, T-shirts and shirts, but this will not be so neat.

And how to put things in the closet?

Having told how to stack things correctly, one cannot help but recall that they need to be hidden somewhere from prying eyes after that. And yet this is very important, since the folded things must lie in a place specific to them, so that no one accidentally touches them, crushes or creates anything else with them, from which they will again remember and lose all their charm.

In theory, in order to put things together, it’s enough to have only a cabinet with shelves and self-control with patience. But, unfortunately, in practice it turns out that for storage it will not be superfluous to buy special modules that can easily be hung directly in the cabinet.

Regardless of whether you have additional modules or not, there is one important secret to maintaining relative order inside the cabinet. The space of each shelf must be divided in half and to distribute things by season. The middle of the shelf is summer, and along the edges is winter and demi-season items (for example, T-shirts and shirts are located closer to the middle, and things with a long sleeve are located as far from the center as possible).

It is easy to keep order in your things if you know how to fold clothes (from T-shirts to down jackets) correctly so that they do not crinkle. But order is the key to calm, isn't it? Take care of the order first of all in your mind, because then the order will be everywhere, including in clothes.
