Ironing board for sleeves

An ironing board for sleeves is a unique device that greatly facilitates the life of housewives and not only. This original stand allows you to iron the sleeves well, without leaving creases, while taking up quite a bit of time. Such equipment can be purchased complete with a large format ironing board for ironing or made independently.

An ironing board for sleeves is a small platform that is characterized by the presence of a hard surface. This tool is designed specifically for ironing both short and long sleeves of shirts and sweaters. The sleeve is presented in the form of a narrow rectangle, but its edges must be necessarily rounded. Such a well-thought-out shape allows you to quickly and easily iron the sleeves without arrows, since any sleeve can be worn on the sleeve, regardless of size.

A kind of mini-board is small in size, so it is very convenient to use. It is a tabletop, because for use it needs to be put on a large format ironing board or on a regular table.

The ironing process will not take much time and effort, but you should stick to the following algorithm:

1. First you need to put on a sleeve along the board and carefully straighten it, which will avoid the occurrence of wrinkles
2. Carefully walk the iron along the sleeve, while paying attention to the cuff;
3. ironing of the sleeve should be done exclusively in the longitudinal direction, performing actions from the inside (from the seam);
4. pull the sleeve to the other side and iron again, do not change direction.

So that the ironing process does not take much time and energy, It is worth paying attention to the following tips of experienced housewives who have learned how to do household chores efficiently and easily:

• an exceptionally clean thing that has already been washed should be allowed to iron;
• try not to dry the fabric so that it does not lose its appearance and structure;
• if the clothes are very wrinkled, the use of water will help to facilitate the ironing process - the crumpled thing should be sprinkled from the spray gun or using a steamer;
• it is very important to adhere to the temperature regime that is indicated on the label from the manufacturer, otherwise the product may become unusable;
• To avoid the formation of shiny marks on the sleeves of the shirt, it is better to iron them solely from the inside.

Typically on a board for ironing presents a sleeve or a compact roller made of towels. It is it that should be used for ironing long sleeves. If such a unique device, unfortunately, is not at hand, then you can use another method as an alternative. This technology prevents the iron from touching fabric folds to prevent arrows from appearing.

It is worth sticking to the following algorithm:

1. you should unbutton the button on the cuffs of the sleeves and iron from the inside, then go to the front side;
2. the sleeve must be placed on the board, while one edge will hang slightly;
3. you should stroke the sleeve, but do not touch the fold itself to prevent the appearance of arrows;
4. after this, the product must be turned to the second side, and once again perform this procedure;
5. Next, fold the sleeve so that the seam is in the middle;
6. again it is necessary to put the sleeve on the ironing board, with one edge hanging down, ironing without touching the bend of the material with an iron;
7. in conclusion, it is worth putting the sleeve on the board through the collar, which will allow you to carefully iron the shoulder of the shirt.

Shirts with short sleeves are usually ironed in the same way as with long sleeves. This technology is suitable for all materials. But ironing short sleeves is easier, because the time spent here is minimal.

An ironing sleeve can be purchased at any store where household goods are sold. But if you need to iron the sleeves right now, and at the same time there is no time and desire to run to the store for this device, then you can make it yourself.

The following materials and tools should be taken:

• a wooden board or chipboard;
• a sheet of metal;
• screws and hacksaw;
• drill.

The process of manufacturing arm ruffles includes the following steps:

1. you need to make a rectangle of the board, while its size should be 10x50 cm;
2. using a compass, make a circle on one side of the board; after using a hacksaw to trim it along the formed line, you get the shape of a semicircle;
3. of metal you need to make a sheet measuring 10x15 cm, it will be used to create the bracket;
4. the metal sheet must be bent in the middle, and the letter Z should be obtained;
5. it is necessary to use the drill to make two holes in the upper and lower shelf of the bracket - they will be used to fix this element;
6. using screws, you should screw the top shelf to the bottom, and it, in turn, to the ironing board.

If you additionally use a removable cover, then you can protect the product from damage and facilitate the ironing process. To sew such a cover yourself, you should prepare the following materials and tools:

• linen or cotton fabric;
• scissors and threads;
• gum;
• synthetic winterizer or foam rubber, its thickness should be about 2 mm.

The process of creating a removable cover should be done according to the following algorithm:

1. you need to start with a pattern - take the sizes from the board for ironing the sleeves or attach the fabric to it, and then add another 5-6 centimeters along the edges;
2. prepare a synthetic winterizer or foam rubber of a similar size, while the margin can be left at only 2-3 centimeters;
3. so that the cover turns out with even edges, it is worth using a sewing machine, for sewing choose a seam overlock;
4. When flashing the cover, you should leave a small hole, because through it in the future an elastic band or lace will be held to tighten;
5. put foam on the board, put on a cover on top, and then pull out the material.
