do you iron?

[tigerlilly01]

I was wondering how many people actually iron these days.  I do if something really needs it but my mother in law even irons SHEETS !!!!

one of my sons always irons his shirts

Oh heck no, if the clothes don't come out of the dryer wrinkle free I am in trouble.  Have no interest what so ever in ironing, I am too lazy even though I don't work.  Also wear very casual clothes so wouldn't iron them.  My mom used to iron everything when I was young, pressed a pleat into everything my dad wore lol but after she went to work didn't iron as much but in her later years took things to a dry cleaners because she still liked her stuff pressed.  I don't care -0) not that industrious or picky about it.

Three words for you: Downy wrinkle release. If you/your husband require starch pressed it won't work but for casual office, no problem! I even used it on my husband's uniforms and then ironed them. It  saves me money on drycleaning. So I don't want to sound like an ad, but Downy Wrinkle Release, a non-ironers best friend!

I used to iron every day but I have gotten lazy and stopped. I'm trying to get back in the routine of ironing my kids and my clothes every night. I really dont like the clothes to be wrinkled. I am going to make sure my kids know how to iron as well. It is a good thing to know how to do.

Oh my, when I was growing up EVERYTHING was ironed from handkerchiefs to bed sheets. As I was the oldest guess who moved through the chain of ironed items first? Funny enough, because it was expected it really wasn't a chore (got you out of doing other things) With all the new fabrics I no longer iron much at all--maybe one or two blouses that are unforgiving.

No, I do not iron very often. If I'm ironing, I'm probably sewing a new curtain or a costume for a kid ( a simple cape).

I iron almost every day.... and ONLY because my dryer recently broke so until I get another one, I can't dewrinkle my clothes by throwing them in the dryer. LOL!

I sewed 6 new large curtains for my bedroom and it took me hours to iron them all. I tried throwing them in the dryer, but they came out even more wrinkly.

I do not iron but I am sure if something really needed it I could find it in the closet and see if it still works lol

[livluvsmile]

The only thing I use my iron for is to do t-shirt transfers.  I actually throw clothees back in the dryer is they are too full of wrinkles before I iron.

 :thumbsup:clothes are made today to be wrinkle free.  take them out of the drye amd immediatly hang them up and you don't have to iron..wash and wear

[pstovall]

I iron every day.  I can't stand to wear wrinkled clothes.  When the kids were growing up, I ironed their outfits every night so I wouldn't have to do it in the morning.  Now that they are grown, they don't seem to be as concerned with ironed clothes as I am.  One has a steamer that she uses instead of an iron.  I do beiieve that a lot of the materials today do not require ironing. Just one less chore to perform!

I very seldom iron unless it's for a special occasion like a wedding or something.  Most of our clothes come out wrinkle free from the dryer (when I remember to pull them out while they are still warm).  I like to hang wrinkly clothing in a steamy bathroom...it does all the work for me
