How to Fold a Shirt
I couldn't resist trying out this shirt folding method. Their end result looks much better than mine though.

Cool, she could get work at the Gap, no problem. The first key topographical point is x= 1/4 the width of the T-shirt, and y = halfway between top of shirt to bottom (lengthways). The trick is getting 1/4 the width of the shirt (in the footage it actually looks kinda more like 1/7), which parallels somewhere between the collar edge and the sleeve seem along the length of the shirt-- which is your second key point. Wherever you decide the 1/4 point is in the middle, you must keep it _parallel_ lengthways with your second grabbing of point 2 up near the top of the shirt between the collar and seem. It must work best on your newest T-shirt that has the least amount of stretches in it. (For a lot of males, this makes it difficult because that's probably about 10 years.) Also, notice the jump in the footage- as if the woman tried it about 15 times before getting it right herself and to make the corners perfectly square. She had to get the perfect points _and_ keep it parallel. As shirts age, the collar stretches closer to the sleeve seem and if it goes beyond that 1/4 point parallel... you're fucked.
