Aids For Pressing Clothes at Home Are Easily Made To do good pressing of odd-shaped odd-shaped parts of clothing, curved seams, and sleeves, the large ironing iron-ing board needs to be supplemented supplement-ed by two or three pressing pads that will fit into corners and curves. Miss Lois Holderbaum, of the textile and clothing department depart-ment at the Utah State Agricultural Agricul-tural college, tells how to make some of these aids. A pressing pad, she says, is made of ticking or heavy canvas, filled with sawdust. saw-dust. She suggests making one long and narrow for sleeves and another somewhat in the shape of a ham for armholes and curved seams. To make a "tailor's ham" as it is often called, cut two oval-shaped oval-shaped piece of the ticking or canvas, can-vas, each about 12 inches long and graduating in width from 6 to 2 inches. Stitch these together, leaving an opening for the filling, stuff tight with sawdust or shred-'de-d scraps of cloth, and close. Cover with outing flannel, then have a removable washable cover of muslin. Another pressing help is a roll for pressing open seams that might become mussed if pressed on a iboard. A small sleeveboard has its place too, Miss Holderbaum says, in the collection of pressing accessories. acces-sories. It should be padded and covered like the regular ironing board. |
