Sweet jesus! Can it really be that easy?

Absolutely – I’ve tried it and it works! Crinkly t-shirts are now a thing of the past! Whoo!

Thats incredible! If it wasn’t friday, I’d take my t-shirt off and try it now!

Does the Gap know about this?

Truly a thing of beauty! And like all things that are beautiful, it is so simple (when a blockhead like me has been shown how!).
I’m a convert!
BTW, how on earth did the person who thought of this, work it all out? Clearly it is not intuitively obvious!

Fascinating. The person who invented that should receive the Nobel in geometry, if this ever exists.

My ancestor, sort of second cousin to Noah was folding Tshirts like this. Rocks.

Look at Origami. It’s an art. Someone just figured out how to apply it to T shirt folding. Now I’m going to go fold my T Shirt into a swan or a circus clown...

It looks incredible, but when I do it everything comes out crooked!

"The person who invented that should receive the Nobel in geometry, if this ever exists."

Sadly, mathematicians don’t have a Nobel; they get the Fields Medal instead. And yes, whoever invented that deserves to win it. They’re giving out the next one in 2006 – maybe we could do a nomination!

"It looks incredible, but when I do it everything comes out crooked!"

My first six or seven tries came out crooked too. I think the key is to grasp the four layers of shirt on the left side with your thumb on top, so the cloth drapes over your thumb nicely when you do the pulley-switchey-thing. :)

The first proof I’ve seen of this really working. Now I’m going to try it myself...

Since my wife went into hospital I have been struggling with ironing all the family’s clothes. This is an absolute Godsend! BUT will it work with long sleeved business shirts??

this is some crazy stuff

andrew aubuchon · www · 5 years ago

Stunning, simply stunning!
I just tried and it worked almost perfectly. There should be statues built in this woman’s image in every major city.
