Ironing is Not My Forte
September 4th, 2011 | Categories: Style | 8 CommentsMy new apartment has a 2-in-1 washer/dryer. It dries clothes straight after washing, which is great but not great because that means my clothes are extremely wrinkly after the whole cycle. I’ve never felt the need to iron my casual clothes until I started using this machine!
However, while ironing my monstrous pile of laundry this afternoon, I discovered that ironing is not a talent I possess:
It hurts :( I’ll have to learn how to iron without burning myself though, because wrinkly clothes have never been chic!

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
Eek! Ouch! That looks like it hurts loooads. Poor you. :(
I hate ironing too. I pretty much never do it. Does your washer let you take stuff out before it goes into the dryer cycle? I hang all my clothes directly out of the wash and let them air dry. Helps with the wrinkle situation.
I finished up my ironing this evening. Burned myself again – thumb this time. It’s blistering up too :(
I think I can probably take my clothes out before the dryer cycle but I have nowhere to hang my clothes to dry. I’ll have to invest in one of those drying clothes racks before I can look into that as an option.
Unless it says “lay flat to dry”, I just grab a whack of hangers, and then hang everything on hangers off my shower rod. And for the most part, gravity gets rid of wrinkles. Sometimes there’s a few, but not enough that I bother ironing.
I can’t hang clothes off my shower rod – I have roommates that need to shower too!! :P
Hah, oh my! See I’m exactly the same – and this is why I don’t iron. I’ve actually gone so far to buy clothes (t-shirts, jeans, rumpled salsa skirts, everything) that don’t need ironing. Sure, I’ll look casual 24/7, but the last time I tried to iron I not only broke the iron but burnt through to board cover. :(
OMG that looks so painful! Be careful! Rather iron slowly to be safe than rushing through it.
My clothes don’t really need to be ironed so I’m not too good at ironing either.
Oh my goodness that looks incredibly painful! I am not talented with ironing but I can’t say that I’ve had such a mishap. I hope it heals quickly!
Ouch! Poor you!
