There are no wrinkles but most of the stuff we put in a drawer are cotton knits. <br /><br />My garage is tidied up twice a year but there is so much crap in there. Organized but never used. I would love to just throw it all out and may do that when it's time to put the Christmas stuff away.

The rolling only worked to a degree though. <br /><br />I found this book interesting because her folding method. I've done all but my t-shirt drawer and socks (not sure if I'll worry about the socks!) <br /><br />The folding really does prevent wrinkling and it takes up much less space so I can see all the items in each drawer. It takes no longer than the rolling I was already using to put my clothes away. Anything to not iron !!<br /><br />The stuff about talking to your house and furniture though lost me!!!!Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-35030323247511081712015-12-09T01:31:56.493-05:002015-12-09T01:31:56.493-05:00Diane, I often roll my clothing when I pack for tr...Diane, I often roll my clothing when I pack for trips as they take up less room in suitcases that way.
