Fold and file
instead of laying the clothes flat!
This is a really
easy and fast way to locate t-shirts, sweaters and jeans.
(I even do it with my
pj’s)
I have been
“filing” the clothes in my drawers for a few years now:
I fold
the shirt normally and then over again top to bottom to fit the height
of drawer. If the drawer is shallow I fold it in 3rd's.
Notice the organization
by color!
I found a product
called Pliio at Bed Bath and Beyond that can make it even neater
So it can look like
this!
Or for packing like this:
Okay. So you
could cut cardboard the size of the purchased files, but having the sturdy
cotton ones may be neater and will probably last longer.
Happy Organizing!

do people really have drawers that look like this everyday?!
ReplyDeletejmcwnz Yes. It is actually easier than you may think! I even do it with my sweaters and jeans.

ReplyDeleteThanks Clare #streamlife! Although I have never actually used it, Pliio looks like a great tool for neat folding!
