Any process (especially such a responsible one!) requires preparation. Therefore, first, try to dry the shirts, hanging them on the hangers, in an upright position. This will greatly facilitate the entire subsequent ironing process. In addition, do not overdry a thing - in this case ironing it will be much more difficult. Avoid the automatic drying of shirts in the washing machine, if you do not want a pleasant and easy ironing turned into torment. Iron ... Of course, you can even iron a shirt with a prehistoric trench, as our predecessors knew how to use it. But we have modern, light and reliable assistants - irons. Oh, how they make our life easier! One - and it's ready! And all the folds are straightened out, and the fabric becomes pristine smoothness. That's just an iron to choose with the mind! It is important that this modern helper has a non-stick coating, a steam generator and several temperature regimes. And what do you want? After all, we will have to iron and weightless silk, and ascetic cotton, and capricious stubborn flax. Surface for ironing. You can make a table with an ordinary towel or sheet. You can iron the shirt on a chair or on a chair. But if you have an ironing board, then you are the superclass mistress! All at you will pass without a hitch, because to iron on the special adaptation where it is more convenient, faster and more pleasantly. But even taking advantage of the usual (without special twists) electric iron and atomizer with boiled water and spreading the shirt on the table, you will be able to restore her impeccable appearance if you follow the basic rules.
Process
The main rule is to iron the shirts in a certainsequence. That is, ironing alternately different parts of the shirt. And it is very important not to violate this order! You need to start with small details, and then move on to larger ones. However, let's talk about everything in order.
- Collar
It is necessary to start with the collar. This is one of the smallest details, which will not go away after ironing. But if you leave it for later, then everything that was ironed before will necessarily be remembered. Therefore, we lay out the shirt on the table and start gently and gently to iron the collar from the wrong side. And if we smooth the collar from the wrong side, as it is convenient for us, then from the front side it should be ironed from the corners to the center. But on the bend this part of the shirt should not be ironed at all - the collar will bend as convenient to him, and, accordingly, to you.
- Cuffs
Follow the collar to iron the cuffs -the second small detail of the shirt. Here we act on the previous algorithm: first the wrong side, then the front one. Try to keep the cuffs on the cuffs! This part of the sleeves is always in sight, which means that it should look perfect. By the way, cuffs in the process of using the shirt do not crumple! And if you iron out carelessly, it will become clear to everyone that wrinkles on cuffs are the result of dishonesty ironing.
- Sleeves
Naturally, following the cuffs followsSmooth the sleeves - larger details of the shirt. If you use an ironing board, do not neglect a special shelf designed specifically for sleeves. Begin to iron the sleeve from the center, smoothly moving the iron to the edges. Stitches smooth especially carefully, but we do not do arrows! Arrows on the sleeves, by the way, are considered bad form.
- Back
Yes, yes, after the sleeves, smooth out the backshirt. And not because the back is smaller than the shelves. Just imagine that in the shirt unbuttoned and spread out on the table, the backrest and the shelves are considered one detail. That's why we start to iron it from the middle (as well as the sleeves). This stage can rightfully be called the easiest! We stroke the back from one side seam to the other. The only difficulty is the seam of the coquette and the trench under it. If the shirt you are ironing is of this style, then first smooth the coquette. Then walk the iron over the cloth in the place of the guard. Just smooth it in a crease! And then iron the rest of the back.
- Shelves
The final stage of the work is the shelves of the shirt. Here everything is much more complicated: pockets, buttons, loops, straps and the same coquette. We begin to iron out the small details - pockets, coquette and straps with buttons and buttons. We thoroughly iron them. But then there is enough trouble-free part of the shelves, from which it is very easy to cope. By the way, many housewives with special zeal try to iron the bar with buttons. This, of course, is correct. But the main thing here is to stretch the cloth between the buttons so that this bar is not shorter than the bar with the loops. But the plate with its eyelets is just in sight in the buttoned shirt. And it must look perfect - iron it gently, trying not to make creases and smoothed wrinkles. That, strictly speaking, that's all! Take the shirt by the shoulders and lift it up, slightly shaking it. But is it really expensive to see? Now the ironed shirt can be hung on the hangers and put into the closet. It is done!
