Show When ironing, remember that double thicknesses such as'hems, collars and culls should be ironed first on the wrong side, then on the right. Leave about an inch of top on carrots when preparing them for grating. This serves as a button on which to hold while grating tha carrots and prevents fingers from getting too close to the grater. I Instead of sewing snaps on very fine material, sew them to a piece : of silk tape and whip the tape along the hem where the snaps are needed. Prevents snaps from cutting through when garment is ironed. i i To remove smoke from a room quickly, dip a towel in vinegar and hot water (equal parts) wring out, and whirl it gently over the head about the room. i When hanging clothes to dry hang large items first because smaller ones can be fitted into remaining re-maining spaces easily. i ' When you wash your ironing-board ironing-board cover, put it back on the board while still damp and fasten securely. When dry, the cover will fit smoothly. This same idea can be applied to slip-covers. For pressing dark wool clothes, use a piece of dark wool next to the clothing and a dampened cotton cot-ton cloth on top. f Two thin coats of paint give better bet-ter results than one thick coat. Sandpaper lightly between coats. |
