Back to the Basics: Categorising your Clothing Part 1 - Introduction

Folding the clothing can be a hassle. I have learnt through the hard way and came out with the easiest, yet practical way to fold your clothing. Unlike Marie Kondo's method of folding to make it stand, my way is to ensure the folding is as uniform as you fold different categories of clothing.

4 Categories of Clothing

1. Clothing to be Folded
2. Clothing to be Iron / Placed on Hanger
3. Inner Wear
4. Miscellaneous

These clothing are normally:
i. Clothing for exercise (i.e. Dry-Fit Tee-shirts)

Fold the singlet into another half vertically. 4. Use your palm as the standard measurement of the width you desired. [ We will teach troubleshoot in the next post ] 5. Fold the clothing from the collar area, down to the end of the singlet into another half horizontally. 6. Fold the mid of the shirt down to the end of the singlet horizontally. 7. Press both ends of the singlet to solidify the shape. 8. You are done. Below image shows the entire process of how it is folded. Points to take note when folding: i.

INTRODUCTION TO MINIMUM LIFESTYLE

I have created this minimum lifestyle blog page, which is inspired by the trend of Marie Kondo, HGTV's small houses, Matt D'Avella's Minimalism and much more. So, just a simple background on why I have been into these categories. 1) I am currently living in public housing in Singapore. 2) I wanted things to be simplified as my life gets more complicated. 3) I focus on the comfort of the room and surrounding by re-designing and re-organising. So the purpose of writing this blog is not to showcase how capable am I like those celebrities. I wanted to showcase what I have gone through and combined all the different techniques to improve your environment.
