How to Make Room for Your "EXTRA" Clothes

How to Make Room for Your “EXTRA” Clothes

Are you the type of person who has to pack everything you feel is a necessity, even though others think you can do without? Or do you live in a dorm room and are forced to share closet space that you honestly could use yourself? Well, no need to worry, here are a few steps to help you use every bit of space you have so that you don’t have to go without your favorite pink sweater.

1. Separate your clothes into piles. A pile of pants, shirts, dress shirts, skirts dresses, delicates etc.
2. Once all your clothes are separated choose which drawer you want to place your piles in. For example, if you only have three drawers the top drawer could be for your delicates, the second drawer for your shirts and the bottom drawer for your pants and skirts allowing you to hang your dresses and jackets in your closet.
3. First, being to roll your shirts. Fold your shirts vertically and begin from the bottom of the shirts and simply roll each shirt forward.
4. Now, you have several pieces of shirts that are now in a compact form, which saves you more room in your drawers.
5. Take each rolled up shirt and place them, in whatever order you desire, in your chosen drawer and continue the same process with your other piles of clothes.

This same method will also work for packing your suitcase for any trip you might be taking. Simply rolling your shirts, pants, skirts, sweaters, dresses, etc., will basically add space to areas you thought you didn't have.

But...
BEWARE! You can't really use this rolling up method with sweatshirts. The thicker the clothing the harder it is to roll. Also, if thick clothing is rolled you won't save much space because of the bulkiness of the clothing.

Remember you don't have to give up your favorite 4 pairs of pants, or even leave a pair at home. Just roll 'em up.
