Materials

  • Flat Surface
  • Hoodie sweatshirt or jacket

Instructions

  • 1. Lay the hoodie face down, smoothing out wrinkles and lining up the sides and bottom.
  • 2. Fold the hood down to the onto the body, smoothing out wrinkles.
  • 3. Fold it vertically neatly in half with one sleeve on top of the other and line up the side edges of the hoodie
  • 4. Fold the sleeves neatly back onto the body of the hoodie.
  • 5. Fold the hoodie in half. If your hoodie is long, it may work better to fold it in thirds.

Notes

To quickly and neatly lay out the hoodie in Step 1, I grab the hoodie from the bottom, like up the edges and give it a sharp shake.
If the fabric is thick, folding the item in half, rather than thirds in Step 5, is often the best choice for the folded hoodie to hold its shape.
Once you get these steps down, you can often fold your hoodie against your body rather than using a flat surface.
