How to fold a T-shirt.

I recommend using a player that will let you seek the video and slow it down as much as you want. QuickTime+ClickToFlash will work if you’re on a Mac and a native-WebKit-based browser; otherwise, download the video (either from YouTube or from the original site) and watch it in a player application such as QuickTime Player, QTAmateur (Mac only), or VLC.

Step-by-step:

1. Lay the shirt flat on a table.
2. With one hand, pinch the shirt a few centimeters in from one edge.
3. With the other hand, pinch the shirt at the same horizontal position, on the shoulder.
4. Bring the shoulder down to the bottom of the shirt.
5. Pinch the two parts of the shirt together with your second hand. Your first hand should still be in the middle of the shirt, at what is now the inside of the crease.
6. Yank the middle of the shirt out with your first hand.
7. Use the table to fold the other side of the shirt back behind the now-folded portion.
8. Lay the folded shirt flat.
