How To Fold A Jumper

Clive Gilkes of London tailors Richard Anderson Ltd will show you the best way to fold a jumper. Having creases will no longer be a problem for VideoJug users, once you learn how to fold a jumper like the professionals with this film.

Step 1: Fold after ironing

For best results, fold immediately after ironing.

Step 2: Lay flat

Place the jumper on its front on a flat surface and smooth out any creases. Make sure it lies completely flat.

Step 3: Fold one side

Start by folding one side of the jumper in towards the middle, creating a vertical fold from about the middle of the shoulder. Bring the sleeve over with it too. Then fold the sleeve back down to lie vertically over the folded part of the jumper.

Step 4: Repeat

Repeat this with the other side of the jumper. Fold the side in, and the sleeve down over it.

Step 5: Fold the bottom up

Now, fold the bottom of the jumper and the sleeves to about halfway up the back.
Fold this part over again, up towards the neck and smooth everything down.Turn the jumper over.

Step 6: Handy Hint

Place a sheet of tissue paper on top of more delicate jumpers before folding. This will cushion the folds and ensure that the fabric doesn't crease. Fold as before, bringing the sides in with the sleeves and folding the bottom over twice towards the neck.
Turn over.
