We’ve folded pants into shirts before. But this pajama folding hack is the neatest and easiest one we’ve tried yet.
Sometimes we wish we could share a new hack with you weekly. However, we really take our responsibility seriously and we post only the hacks that we use, love, and vouch for. And so we only post a tip/hack/DIY when we have one we think is worthwhile incorporating into your daily life.
Some of the hacks we’ve use ourselves are fashion hacks, like “What to Do with a Belt Flap That’s Too Long?” or “How To Keep The Uniform Pleats Looking Crisp And New.”
Others hacks are related to Jewish life, like “Display the Hebrew Date on Your iPhone Calendar and Home Screen” or “Solution for your Hats on your Dining Room Table.”
And of course we have food hacks. Like our favorite Tomato Paste Hack or “Why Didn’t I Ever Think Of Using This In My Ice Drawer?”
Back in July a reader reached out with a hack showing a clever way to fold pajamas. Now many of you share hacks, and while we love many of them, we don’t always naturally incorporate them into our lives.
However, when she shared this hack, we tried it out immediately. And then we kept doing it. It’s so simple, we’re not sure why we never folded pajamas this way before!
See these two stacks of PJs? One is folded traditionally (pants and shirts separate). And one is folded using the hack below.
Now you will tell us, “BCP, what’s the big deal? I already put the pj pants into the shirt.”
Yes, some of us also did, but this version is the neatest version we’ve tried!
Start by laying out the top and bottom on a flat surface.
Fold the pants in half.
Place the pants in the middle of the shirt.
Fold up the bottom of the pants to match up to the shirt.
Continue folding the top as usual.
All done!
See how it’s one piece?

That’s so smart!
I’m also thinking that this would be a great way to set up outfits for my kiddo. I can fold his pants into the shirt, maybe even with socks and underwear, and then he just pulls it out and gets dressed. Will bn report back if that works!
my son loves his “clothing packets” and wants his clothing folded like this always. Win!!
This is a very cool hack! However, my biggest laundry folding hack is that I stopped folding my kids pajamas (and underwear) entirely. It cuts down on a significant amount of time and honestly it doesn’t matter if they’re wrinkled! I just throw the pajamas into each child’s individual bin (they will usually fold them when they put them away in their drawers.)
Lol me too!!
I don’t either fold pjs or underwear!
LOL me too!! not my underwear either 🙂
Just this morning I was thinking that there must be a perfect way to fold the pants into the top… and then I saw this post!
Omg! I am not one to comment but this is amazing!! Just tried this tonight while folding pjs and it is perfect!! THANK YOU!
do you have such a large empty surface to fold on in real life?
I fold laundry on the couch, and I have to fold everything in mid air or on my lap when the couch fills up with folded laundry…
I fold on my dining room table. It’s big and I can either sit or stand depending on my mood or on what I’m folding
I use a similar hack to fold nightgowns. You fold it horizontally, bringing the hem up to neckline, then fold like a regular t-shirt. It makes the length much more manageable, as well as neater looking.
So cool! Will definitely fold like this in from today on!
Been doing this for forever… hands down the best way to fold!
