ironing hell November 20, 2011
Tags: ironing, kilt, making, postaday2011, sewing
I hate ironing. When I first got married, I told my husband that. I buy no-iron clothing. If he wants his clothes ironed, then he has to iron them. Luckily, one of his jobs as a kid was earning cash for ironing his father’s shirts. University professors wore ironed shirts back then. He irons his shirts in front of the TV.
I don’t iron. My clothes either are the kind that don’t wrinkle or they look slightly rumpled.
So what was I thinking when I took on a kilt for a sewing project? 31 pleats (in the final version. There were several more I’d put in that I had to iron out…)
