The older ladies in my family would iron everything....even undies! As a child I remember the distinct smell of Fabulon and the Days of Our Lives theme song! Too funny!!Happy Snapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088474034423303036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-24864931458399511162019-04-18T09:10:51.400+10:002019-04-18T09:10:51.400+10:00I only use my iron for iron on patches.

I refuse to buy all cotton clothes that would require it. I have a habit of ironing in more wrinkles than I am taking out. My mom has a lot of cotton shirts and uses her iron every week or so. The greatest use of irons in our area is at the MTU Winter Carnival to smooth out their ice statues. https://www.mtu.edu/carnival/2019/<br />Sheila- Michigan USA<br />Sheila - EscanabaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-87074631786348959742019-04-18T06:41:41.544+10:002019-04-18T06:41:41.544+10:00I don't do a lot of ironing but wouldn't w...I don't do a lot of ironing but wouldn't want to be without it especially when sewing.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100301243943578043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-74149940133076747672019-04-18T03:50:52.816+10:002019-04-18T03:50:52.816+10:00Enjoyed your article about ironing.

I had to laugh about your daughter not knowing what an iron was for, my granddaughters are the same. I have been a lurker for a while, and decided I should start commenting, since I enjoy your blog. <br />KathiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-66106250501723020022019-04-18T02:58:05.735+10:002019-04-18T02:58:05.735+10:00I only wear 100% cotton clothing in the summer as ...I only wear 100% cotton clothing in the summer as the heat here is so intense. So I iron a lot. I also iron all my pillow cases, I am just like that, I could not live without one. I also have a collection of old fashioned irons so if we blast ourselves out to the stone age I can still iron my hides.:)Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-25419464952507023422019-04-17T19:12:49.360+10:002019-04-17T19:12:49.360+10:00I think people think I'm nuts.

There are only 3 of us, but I iron tea towels, pillow cases, tablecloths when needed along with the business shirts, pants, t shirts etc. Takes me about 1 hour and Im very glad when it's all done and put away. <br />Tania in HawthornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-75942279892211123862019-04-17T18:22:54.737+10:002019-04-17T18:22:54.737+10:00I could not live without my iron !

I can't sleep on a unironed pillowcase ! I also like to do linen type tea towels, and some fabrics. With steam rinkles come out, and everything feels fresh. I like to add a little scent to the water Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755978836374275623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-49578545119193402982019-04-17T14:52:17.301+10:002019-04-17T14:52:17.301+10:00I only iron on demand and have most clothes that h...I only iron on demand and have most clothes that hang to dry and need no/little ironing.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-6836142900569022692019-04-17T11:10:04.115+10:002019-04-17T11:10:04.115+10:00Wendy,

I also iron wrapping paper, household curtains, work blouses and shirts. The other clothing I try not to iron, but it's a quick and useful practice; one that can make older belongings look better!
