How to fold a shirt in 3 seconds

I had to watch this video over and over to understand what was going on, since I don’t understand Japanese.  Then I tried five or sixe times folding a shirt, and finally did it!

Instructions:

Stand to one side of the shirt. Imagine a line that runs from the middle of the shoulder furthest away from you, to the bottom of the shirt. Then imagine another line exactly halfway inbetween the top of the shirt and the bottom. With your left hand, pinch the shirt at the point where those lines intersect.  With your right hand, grab a piece of the shirt at the shoulder.  Don’t let go.

This is where it gets tricky.  With your right hand, fold the shirt over and have it touch the bottom of the shirt.  Your right hand is over your left, and your left hand is hidden under the shirt.  You’re now holding the shoulder seam and the bottom hem together.  You can adjust your left hand to make sure the shirt is taut and folded in the middle.

Now, pull the hidden left hand out from underneath towards you. Then fold the loose arm underneath. Voila!
