How to Fold Pajamas
Fresh, folded pajamas tucked under a pillow or in your dresser drawer are much more inviting than rumpled pajamas scooped from the floor. And although you could toss those P.J.s over the back of a chair or ball them up and toss them onto a shelf, It requires only a few flips of the wrist and elbows to properly fold pajamas.
