Sock folding changes

Just the other day we were watching a Duggar video and the younger kids were matching socks.  I saw the oldest girl (Jana) show them how to fold them.  It was different than I usually fold our socks so I thought I would try it.  I did and I liked it.  So I thought I would share with others.  Maybe you already fold like this.  I might just be the only one that this is new to.  : )

This is a pair of Jesse Jr.'s socks.  I could have looked for a really clean white pair, but this is real life, so you get to see the more realistic pair.  ; )

And this is how I would normally fold the socks.  I would just fold the top down and the feet would be floppy.

But the new way - you fold the pair in half first.. like this.

Then you fold the top down over the whole sock.  Which makes a small little bundle.. like this.

This just seems more compact and I like it.  : ) 

Maybe this will help other families who are looking for new ways to tackle the laundry or make socks take up less space.  I know that sometimes its hard just to find the matches though, let alone get them folded and put away, right!  : )
