I've never been the best ironer. In fact I hate it. H - A - T - E. Hate. It. Maybe it's because I've never really learned the proper way to iron. I sort of BS my way through it. And really, there are just some wrinkles I can't get out. Plus I seem to add some. I only use it if I have to. Days when we have somewhere important to be. Days where we need to wear something besides t-shirts and jeans.
Now that daughter has to wear a uniform, I'm going to have to get better acquainted with my iron. It's a good thing she wears a jumper over most of the shirt so you can't really see if I miss a spot. And the arms. Oh the arms. How do I fit the teenie- tiny arms over the big end of the iron board? I tried tonight, I really did. And I think I did alright. But I didn't touch the sleeves. They are puffy sleeves and well, have lots of pleats. And they're small. Oh so small.
Maybe in the next 8-12 years I'll finally come to master it. Or I'll get smart and find all wrinkle free gear.

Would you believe that I have never used an iron? My mother-in-law couldn't believe it. I think she's ashamed of me. So what if I'm a wrinkled mess!?

I am the same way, except that at this point, I won't even try to iron. I bought this stuff called "Downy Wrinkle Release." I spray it on the item of clothing and the wrinkles magically disappear. Seriously.
The closest I come to ironing is throwing the clothing in the dryer for a few minutes..
This "Downy Wrinkle Release", why have I not seen this before.... this I must have...
What is this instrument you call 'iron'? Seriously, I do not use one at all except maybe 1x/year if necessary. My husband irons his own things which is just fine with me. Strangely, my kids love a little toy iron they have. Figures. They'll probably grow up to be ironers.
How about a little place they call the dry cleaners? they do laundry and pressing there too. Yes, it's a good thing!
I haven't picked up an iron in years!! (not since I discovered that you can pay someone to do it for you!)
