Interestingly, I watched some of her videos last winter; my husband watched one with me. I made just a few changes in how I store my clothes, based on her system. But my husband really got into it, reworked his entire dresser, and maintains it to this day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day/page/2#post-2057900 Wed, 04 Sep 2019 07:11:32 +0000 bj1111 2057900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I konmarie’d my closet shelves and it give me joy 4 weeks later. I still have one gear shelf and T-shirt cabinet to go</p> <p>It worked really well with my jeans which I can now see and has resulted in me not shopping for jeans online. Well, except for a snakeskin pair because I can clearly see that I don’t have 1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day/page/2#post-2057876 Wed, 04 Sep 2019 01:47:46 +0000 Staysfit 2057876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I use the method for my bureau drawers. I should find a way to do it for my shelves also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day/page/2#post-2057875 Wed, 04 Sep 2019 01:45:56 +0000 Jaime 2057875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I mostly use this method for jeans and shorts but have to remember to keep the waistband on top or I can't always tell them apart. Which says more about the quantity of my jeans than anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day/page/2#post-2057850 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 22:07:49 +0000 Susie 2057850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's impressive, especially for a guy!</p> <p>I don't use the method because I don't store much in drawers - only undies, pajamas, socks and swimwear. It's spread out enough that it's easy to see it all. Everything else, including workout gear and lounge clothes, are hanging. I guess the drawers I do use would look neater with this method though so maybe I'll try it someday.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day/page/2#post-2057840 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 21:35:11 +0000 The Cat 2057840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet and others, I am curious about Flip Fold. What are the advantages, compared to the KM method, for instance? What kind of clothing items can you use it for? Do you need different kinds/sizes for different clothing items? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day/page/2#post-2057836 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 21:23:48 +0000 Janet 2057836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!</p> <p>Does anyone else here use a Flip Fold? I’m a huge fan. It allows me to make really uniform stacks or rows of folded clothes. They look great on our shelves or in drawers. The very uniform size makes it easier to see what you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057834 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 20:57:41 +0000 Joyce B 2057834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job, Carla. I use a KonMarie version for my underwear and socks, it keeps them organized and saves space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057827 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 20:22:06 +0000 The Cat 2057827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, baskets on shelves is a great idea, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057821 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 20:01:43 +0000 Jenn 2057821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold all my clothes (that aren't hung) this way. I don't have a dresser, so I use baskets on my closet shelves. &nbsp;Once you have the basics of the technique, you can pretty much fold anything to fit in whatever width you have available for it, so everything stays quite neat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057818 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 19:31:15 +0000 The Cat 2057818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, thank you so much for the link. It looks really helpful. I want to try again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057815 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 19:20:07 +0000 JAileen 2057815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a website that shows how to fold things. I’m going to try again. I have a lot of things that will look just alike when folded. Do you just have to guess what’s what?</p> <p><a href="https://justagirlandherblog.com/filing-method-of-folding-clothes-konmari-method/" rel="nofollow">https://justagirlandherblog.co.....ri-method/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057807 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 18:54:42 +0000 cjh 2057807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@JAileen, I thought my drawers looked messy at first, and that the items would get wrinkly not lying “flat”, but am pleasantly surprised. Even though the first impression is a little messier and maybe cluttered because you see more items at once, the drawer stays organized no matter which pieces I take out and put back in. And nothing is wrinkled any more than before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057802 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 18:36:13 +0000 Anonymous 2057802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have done this with my dresser drawers and was surprised at how much more I could fit in each drawer in addition to making it easier to find what I am looking for. DH is next on the list as his drawers are a mess. He cleaned out his closet already thankfully!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057793 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 17:39:16 +0000 taylor 2057793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a feeling of satisfaction when things are neat and tidy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057789 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 17:23:01 +0000 kkards 2057789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, i really need to get on this...i'm going to add this to my list of things to do once the weather turns cold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057776 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 16:40:22 +0000 Carla 2057776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@JAileen - there are lots of videos demonstrating the 'correct' method for folding How she does pants and shorts is really quite interesting. For shirts, the neck or collar gets 'hidden' during the folding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057775 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 16:34:29 +0000 JAileen 2057775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coincidentally, I did something sort of like Kon Mari yesterday to several drawers. I think I folded them wrong. Actually, I rolled them, and they want to unroll. My drawer of sleeveless tops is still messy looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057765 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 16:02:09 +0000 Angie 2057765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! It’s sublime to be organized.</p> <p> I’m a convert: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057733 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 14:17:45 +0000 Anonymous 2057733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a convert, using this method for my jeans, pajamas, sweats/lounge clothes, and workout apparel. &nbsp;It's made a world of difference in terms of being able to see what's what, and being able to fit more pieces into a drawer. &nbsp;Love it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057732 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 14:13:49 +0000 Carla 2057732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hoping DS keeps it up, since the alternative is milk crates and other receptacles, to capture the overflow! My laundry baskets were starting to bottleneck in his room. He was going for easy pickings because he couldn't see what was in his drawers, and cycling through what just got washed and folded.</p> <p>This am DH commented that he is really happy to get his sweaters in a drawer and clear up space on his side of the closet. So we,shall,see!</p> <p>I don't follow the method. When I folded my stuff, there wasn't enough to keep it all standing up! I'm going to try a version for packing for my next trip, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057731 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 14:04:50 +0000 SW Ann 2057731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, had to add, featured on Clean House, when Niecy Nash hosted it,the organizer featured this method.&nbsp; Show on in 2003, perhaps on TLC network? in USA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057730 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 14:04:10 +0000 Anonymous 2057730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use it for things in drawers and a small basket of my tee shirts on a closet shelf, plus scarves and even underwear. I like to see everything and find it easy to keep tidy because pulling out one item does not mess everything up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057728 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 13:59:12 +0000 SW Ann 2057728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I used "konmari" before it was called that...an organizer on an HGTV show actually showed that method in the early 2000s, and I used it to sort my DHs stuff....he loves it.&nbsp; Then I did mine.&nbsp; Not everything, but&nbsp; t shirts and socks are a winner for this method.&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057722 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 13:46:26 +0000 cjh 2057722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fold my pjs this way, my running tights and capris, and my cotton T-shirt’s. Most of my tops and shirts are on hangers, but the “race” shirts are in a drawer. I’ve tried to make it work for underclothes, but they are small and slippery, so they don’t want to stay that way. My tights and capris are kind of rolled rather than folded.</p> <p>P.S. Do not imagine that those race shirts represent anything but participation. Only one was an award for placing. I do wear most of these shirts for house chores and also after running for the social time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057716 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 13:36:00 +0000 Helena 2057716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! My daughter KonMari'd her entire room this summer and it looks so great.

Our clothes are on shelves, not drawers, so stacking neatly is actually the method that allows us to see them best. We just need to be careful when taking them out/returning them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-konmari-day#post-2057679 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 12:17:33 +0000 Inge 2057679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Just looking at those drawers makes me smile:-) And so fun that DH and DS are both on board.</div><div>I fold my camis the KonMari way, but that's about it. If I had more drawer space, I think I'd like to store my knitwear like this also.<br /></div> </p>
