Love being able to see it&nbsp;all. I've tried it before but &nbsp;didn't keep up with&nbsp;&nbsp;the maintenance. Day vies love your idea about a spare bin.I will try and implement that. Thanks for that idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1065193 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 18:53:05 +0000 cheryl 1065193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I store all of my tshirts like this. I love that I can see everyone at a glance. I also do this with jammies and might have to branch out with even more things like undies and socks lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1065088 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 16:31:09 +0000 Shirley 1065088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I need to try this.&nbsp; Question: is wrinkle a problem? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1065047 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 15:19:23 +0000 Disha 1065047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I roll and file. If that makes sense. So I roll the t-shirts and file them in small cubbies. These t-shirts are either workout, or very casual wear cotton ones. The nicer shirts - I may have to try the fold and file method.<br />Thanks for the great ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1065026 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 14:44:24 +0000 HiggsMistress 1065026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the best tips I've read about!&nbsp; Tried this method with t-shirts, lightweight sweaters, undies&nbsp;and it has changed how I organize my dressers.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can now see what I own, make a decision and not pull everything out in search of that one item I'm looking for. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1064780 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 03:53:40 +0000 Anonymous 1064780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!&nbsp; I have my tee shirts and other knit tops like Sweet Pea mesh filed in this way , only with the three rows the other direction.&nbsp; The great part is that I can get most of my short and long sleeve knits in.&nbsp; I also do underwear this way and have a small drawer for filing all my tank tops by color.&nbsp; I also roll my jeans and clam diggers (denims), filing them&nbsp;in my deepest drawer. I love being able to find things instantly and know exactly where to return the clean ones from the laundry basket.&nbsp; Since setting up this system several years ago, I've not had to redo the drawers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1064771 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 03:46:04 +0000 Marlene 1064771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update!&nbsp; Three weeks have gone by and I AM STILL FILING MY T-SHIRTS!&nbsp; I love-love-love this method of organizing my drawers!&nbsp; I find it doesn't take too long to put stuff away and much less time to find stuff.&nbsp; If you haven't tried this yet....do it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043965 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:47:39 +0000 amiable 1043965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this idea too! &nbsp;I had just switched to color-coding and rolling my shirts, which works pretty well, but I want to try the file method too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043960 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:42:29 +0000 ramya 1043960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ideas ladies:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043946 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:24:08 +0000 Marlene 1043946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this organizing method on pinterest and was intrigued.&nbsp; So many of my shirts were lost under the stacks that I never wore them or couldn't find them.&nbsp; I hope something like this will help.</p> <p>A couple points:&nbsp; when I did it in 3 rows in the other direction, there were not enough shirts to fill the row and the ones at the back fell over.&nbsp; I also saw on pinterest that people used those metal bookends to hold up the short rows.&nbsp; I may convert to that orientation if my one single row doesn't work out.&nbsp; and second, I am not terribly detail-oriented so I wonder how long this will last.&nbsp; Will I have the patience to carefully folding and filing?&nbsp; I like Day Vie's idea of having a holding bin.&nbsp; I will keep that in mind as I go forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043929 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:03:53 +0000 Lisa 1043929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do this with my scarves in a basket and it works like a charm because I can actually see what I have.&nbsp; Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043833 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 11:09:13 +0000 Marthe 1043833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm gonna try this today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043823 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:32:19 +0000 kkards 1043823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have not tried this, but i like this a lot. i </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043728 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 02:58:23 +0000 suzyq 1043728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been doing this with HH tees for about a year and will never go back. &nbsp;He has so many that I run them in 3 rows perpendicular to the front of the dresser. &nbsp;I put the clean in the rear and push the others forward. &nbsp;The print goes on the outside so he can see it without unfolding. &nbsp;If he is not wearing one&nbsp;and passing it by&nbsp;it's easy to pick out as they look a&nbsp;little rumpled and have that picked over look. &nbsp;I pull them out when room gets tight. &nbsp;When I ask if I can donate a passed over tee I am right 99% of the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043724 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 02:43:11 +0000 Lyn D. 1043724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, you are the queen of filing clothes!<br />I am off to do this with my underwear and soxs too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043651 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 00:57:36 +0000 Mo 1043651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlene, my only thought would be maybe fitting them front to back in several rows, like in my pics, so that when a few shirts get out and worn, the whole big stack doesn't start to fall over? &nbsp;Just a thought. &nbsp;It might not be an issue in the least if you launder quite frequently. &nbsp;And it is pretty to see your one straight line of colors all in a row </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043642 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 00:45:10 +0000 Mo 1043642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. &nbsp;I do this even with my underwear. &nbsp;I know - that's odd. &nbsp;But yes, anything that goes in a drawer gets 'filed' in there. &nbsp;Running gear, pj's, socks, in addition to the usual sweaters and tees. &nbsp;What can I say? &nbsp;Seeing is believing. &nbsp;If I can see it, I'm much more likely to wear it. &nbsp; </p> <p>High five Lyn! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043593 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 23:56:31 +0000 Day Vies 1043593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have shelving in my closet under my hanging clothes that holds a total of 8 13"X12" bins.&nbsp; The bins hold my folded clothing, including my t-shirts which I folded standing up (like you) so that I didn't have to ruin everything looking for 1 shirt. The problem comes when I decide not to wear a shirt and the bin is completely full. Pulling everything out just to put one shirt back is a pain. As a result I generally fill up 7 out of the 8 bins and use the empty one for folded clothes that don't readily fit in their home bin. The clothes in the spare bin stay nicely folded in the meantime. Also I have found every 3-4 weeks I have to pull all the bins out and re-fold everything -- but I enjoy that kind of thing. The benefit is you can see everything the downside if you want to call it that is maintenance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043505 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 21:53:25 +0000 Lyn D. 1043505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did this some time ago at the recommendation of Mo- and absolutely love it!<br />You can see exactly what is there and nothing gets 'lost'. It also helps for identifying what needs to go and wardrobe 'holes'.<br />I often find myself opening the drawer just to admire or re-arrange. <br />I have found it helpful to separate colours that are very similar- e.g..navy/black, &nbsp;for better visibility, as they can still get lost if placed directly beside each other. </p> <p>I have one drawer for T-shirts and another for long and 3/4 length ones, and yet another for sweaters etc.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/organizing-the-t-shirt-drawer#post-1043496 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 21:46:54 +0000 Marlene 1043496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been working on getting my wardrobe organized and today I tackled the t-shirt drawer.&nbsp; I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this method and how it worked out.&nbsp; Is it a huge hassle to get the shirts in and out?&nbsp; I like that I can see everything at once and don't have to root way down to the bottom of the drawer to find something that MIGHT be there.&nbsp; Maybe if I SEE the shirt, I will WEAR the shirt...</p> <p>This makes me realize I have a LOT of t-shirts.&nbsp; But I wear a lot of t-shirts.&nbsp; </p>
