IRONING MADE EASIER.
Ironing is a tedious task, but one that can bo made less tedious by standing on a soft cushion, and by doing the ironing in front of an open window, so that plenty of fresh air is available.
To prevent the ironing sheet from “wriggling,sew a small curtain ring to each corner of a straight piece ot material, and one at each side. Thread strong tape through these and lace firmly to the board. This provides a secure cover, and one which can be slipped off for washing when it becomes soiled.
Place garments on a thick towel when ironing around buttons. This enables the buttons to sink into the towelling, simplifies ironing, and obviates the risk of breakages.
