When it comes to packing for a trip, fitting everything into your suitcase can be a real challenge, particularly with bulkier items like sweatshirts. However, there’s an effective method to pack a bulky sweatshirt without taking up too much space. Here’s the best method:

1.Start with the Flat Lay: Lay your sweatshirt flat on a surface, facing up. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds to make the sweatshirt as flat as possible.

2.Fold Sleeves: Take each sleeve and fold it horizontally across the sweatshirt, so they lay flat on top of the body of the sweatshirt.

3.Fold the Bottom Up: Fold the bottom hem up to about halfway up the sweatshirt. Make sure that this fold creates a straight edge and is smooth.

4.Roll It Up: Begin rolling from the folded bottom end up to the neckline. Roll the sweatshirt as tightly as possible to create a compact bundle.

5.Secure the Roll: Use rubber bands or reusable packing straps to secure the rolled-up sweatshirt. This will prevent it from unrolling in your suitcase.

6.Pack Wisely: Place your rolled-up sweatshirt in your suitcase last, after packing all the other items. Because it is malleable, it can fit into small spaces or gaps – like in between shoes or in corners – thus maximizing suitcase space.

This method not only saves space but also minimizes wrinkles and makes unpacking easier upon arrival at your destination. Happy travels!
