How To Roll Clothes For Packing

One problem with packing your luggage for a trip is you never seem to have enough space. A solution to this is in rolling up your clothes. Rolling your clothes properly before packing them is going to save you heaps of space. This hub will teach you how to roll clothes for packing.

You want to organise a clear area where you will start your packing. Buy doing this you can easily keep track of everything that is going into your luggage.

If you are packing T-shirts you can roll them by laying them flat and folding in the arms and a few inches on each side to create a rectangle. Just like you were folding them to put on a shelf. Now just as you would roll a yoga mat, start at the neck and roll the folded T-shirt tightly.

With pants lay them flat and folding them in half the long way, with one leg over the other. For the rolling you want to start at the bottom and roll them up tightly as if you were rolling a long yoga mat.

Dress shirts you should start by folding the sleeves in as you do with a T-shirt, but facing down so you are looking at the back. Like pants you want to start the rolling from the bottom right up to the collar. By doing it this way you end up with the buttons are facing out so that the collar ends up on the outside of the roll and is not squished inside.

With ties, belts and scarves you want to roll them up in a spiral. Now you should tuck them into shoes for protection and to save space. Now that everything is rolled you can pack. Start by packing your rolled pants first and then pack all the rolled shirts in around them.
