   Next, take one hand and pinch one side of the shirt, about halfway down its length. You need to hold your hand there the whole time.

   Fold over to the bottom

   Next, move your other hand parallel to the edge of the shirt, up to the shoulder part of the shirt. Pinch it, and fold it down to the bottom of the shirt. After you make the the fold, make sure your grab onto the bottom of the shirt, as well. Make sure your other hand is still holding onto the first part of the shirt.
