How To Fold a T-Shirt

Leave a Comment

 

T-shirts  are casual wear that can be worn when you change the oil in your car or clean the garage. It is also fashionable to wear them when you go out for a dinner date. No longer are they restricted to “dress down.” T-shirt fabric wrinkles easily. Here is a simple way to fold and store them so that you will always look nice. 
organizing clothes, clothes care
These particular t-shirts are actually old t-shirts that I had brought home from school to launder. We use them as smocks in preschool so they are not in tip-top shape to begin with. I rolled them for easy storage but this technique works to keep your good t-shirts neat and ready to wear.
*It is a great way to pack them when you are going on vacation, as well.

How To Fold a T-Shirt

1. Lay the t-shirt out on a flat surface.
2. Fold in half, length-wise.
3. Fold in half, again, bringing the top to the bottom.
4. Fold the sleeves onto the body of the shirt.
5.Roll the shirt into a tube shape, starting with the straight edge.
Done!

Flashback:  Wish I had discovered this technique a LONG time ago! It is so easy. When my son was little, I used to iron his t-shirts for school. How’d that get started?
Well… I worked at a theatrical supply company where everyone wore t-shirts and jeans. No problem. But one of our most talented, successful employees often came to work in a t-shirt that looked like he had slept in it. It probably didn’t matter to our customers but it bugged me. Seemed like he should care more about how he looked for work.
That’s when I decided to iron all of our t-shirts at home and hang them in the closet. It was a LOT of work! This method is so much better and faster. I just roll them and keep them in a dresser drawer.

Do you fold your t-shirts or hang them? Simple tip on how to store yours, neatly. #tips #organizing #cleaning #storage #tshirts Share on X

13 Amazing Planters For Your Flower Garden

5 Comments

Spring and summer are my favorite seasons. I love the beautiful plants that flourish at this time of year. It has been a while since I have been able to actually have flower gardens, primarily due to a lack of time to be outside, so I have greatly enjoyed the beauty of summer by using potted plants on my deck, patio and porch. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

American Girl Doll Room Decorating Ideas

Have American Girl dolls invaded your life? MacKenzie, my grand girl, absolutely loves American Girl with all the trimmings. What I love is that she has a real interest in the historical background that each doll “lived” in, as well.

The first doll she received, Molly, “lived” during World War II and Mackenzie wanted to know all about it. Hungry for knowledge, she read the book that came with the doll and it opened up many opportunities for us to answer questions she had about that time in history.
But Mackenzie’s love for American Girl did not stop there. Her mom, Shannon, hopped on the bandwagon, setting up a whole set of household scenes for hours of play. Mackenzie and friends are having so much fun!

American Girl is top notch, but a little on the expensive side. Using her bargaining skills, my daughter has made many a good deal on Ebay, winning bids on authentic American Girl dolls, clothes and accessories at a much better price. She filled details in her displays with other appropriately-sized doll furniture plus some very creative decorating ideas like the “horse trough” she made out of an end table! (pictured below)

American Girl does sell beds for their dolls, but Shannon found two of them at a garage sale. Perfect size and perfect price!

A is for Ant

Leave a Comment

A is for Apple but A is also for Ant.  For my first preschool lesson this year, I chose to teach my students about ants. It was fun!

A is for Ant parts of an ant with labels
As we started our day, we saw live ants building tunnels in their artificial ant hill.  It was fascinating to see how ants work together as a team.  My class also made our own ants out of egg cartons and pipe cleaners. (ant craft) We played an ant race game and we read ant books, too !  It was a day of preschool science, reading and fun!
