csl7037 -> Ironing Dress Shirts (6/20/2008 6:06:54 PM)
|
I realize this is probaby pathetic coming from a grown woman married almost 12 years. But I've never been much of an ironer. Dh's new job requires him to dress a little better and that's great! But his dress shirts frustrate me. I guess ironing these shirts always has frustrated me.
So how do you get those little pleats down the back ironed back in straight? When he buys new shirts, I'm considering tacking the pleat at the bottom so that there's a referece at least for where the line goes! Why don't they tack that pleat at the bottom anyway? Is there a trick to that?
Also, starch. I'm trying, I don't use a lot but I am battling the big splotchy spots when I over-spray sometimes. I think I've figured out that if I spray over the shirt - like horizontally over the shirt, instead of spraying at the shirt, it sprays a much more fine mist and doesn't get splotchy.
Dh is very excited about this new challenge and the potential with this new company; he's been there about a month. I feel kinda helpless against the pressure and challenge he's facing. And he welcomes it, it's just standing on the outside that makes me feel helpless...just trying to do my part, I guess.
Maybe I just need practice.
