Struggling to fit all of your belongings into your suitcase for your holiday is a ritual for most.

But it needn't be. With the help of this tutorial video, things are about to get a lot easier on the packing front.

Now, you can save both time and space by rolling your T-shirts instead of simply folding them.

As demonstrated in the video, begin by laying your shirt flat out on the bed or floor.

Then, roll up the bottom hem of the t-shirt and smooth the fabric down.

From there, fold the sides back in and roll it all together, starting from the top of the garment to the bottom and secure.
