How to Store Children’s Pajamas

by mamalaundry on January 27, 2010

I hate messy dresser drawers.  And shelves.

It seems like the fastest drawers to become messy are underwear drawers and children’s pajama drawers.  This clever little method will definitely help with the latter.

First, fold your children’s pajamas neatly.

Now for the best idea you’ve heard all day:

When storing children’s pajamas, store the folded shirt inside the pants.

Flat Mirror Legs Girls PJ Pants

Open Storing Girls PJs

Folded Complete Girls PJs

If the pajamas are smaller than 4T, just place the folded shirt inside the pants prior to folding them in half.

If the pajamas are longer (like my long-legged boy’s!), fold one third of the legs, place the folded shirt inside, and then complete the pants fold.

These stack so easily in the drawer!

And the best part? When you send your little one to go pick out their pajamas, they can easily find the matching top and bottom without destroying the rest of the drawer.

Front View Stacked Children's PJs

This definitely works for me.

My husband, nor any of my boys, understand why messy dresser drawers drive me bonkers.

I do drawer checks.

Drawers left open, things hangin out… it makes me crazy!

I am so glad I am not the only one !

Laundry is my hell. I wash and dry – clean clothes are never and issue – the folding bit is what kills me and we’ll just not mention the I word. ;) Tips like this will make life so much easier! Thank you!
