you have to practice it a lot. and also watch the video a lot. and pause it and see what she's done and make sure what you have matches it.

oh, also, position the shirt so it's perpendicular to you, like it is to her. i was trying it with the shirt just facing me and for some reason it wasn't working so well.

You have to make sure that when you pinch it (at the start), you pinch both layers of the shirt.

And, after you fold the shoulder down to the tail of the shirt, grab the bottom of the shirt as well as the shoulder (everything down where you folded it to) before lifting it up.

awww. here's a step by step, joshy:

1. lie the tshirt flat, right side up, perpendicular to you with the collar on your right.

2. find the middle of the shirt, ie, the place halfway down the person's body if they were wearing it.

3. put the finger of your left hand at this halfway line, on the side opposite you, leaving a small margin

4. put your right hand on the far shoulder of the shirt, directly opposite your left hand.

5. keeping your left hand in place, grab the shirt under your right hand and fold it over to the bottom edge of the shirt. it should look sort of triangular.

6. with your right hand, which should have shirt folded over it, pinch the material that is right under your fingers.

7. with your left hand, hold both the bottom edge of the shirt, and the shouldery-part that you just folded over.

8. uncross your arms, lifting the shirt up

9. all that should be left to do is to fold under the loose sleeve.

And if you can do it from THOSE instructions, you are a true genius my friend.
