My “Ironing” Flannels Hack:
Ever had your partner accidentally dry your perfectly sized UHF?
Perhaps you got a spring weight flannel on the Marketplace for a song, but it’s a tad too small...
Well, whatever the reason, if you find that your IH flannel is a bit too small, here is how I’ve seen half-size increases in size.
Give the flannel a gentle wash in cold
Water and a hang dry.
Once it’s fully dry, turn the bad boy inside out, and iron (with steam!) on relatively high setting.
Ensure you are keeping the steam pumping throughout the ironing session.
Let the flannel hang dry on a hanger, and you will be able to bridge the gap on a “just barely fits” flannel.
**this works in flannels straight from IHUK as well, just skip the wash. Be careful not to iron a crease in the sleeves (unless that’s your thing)
You can also use this hack to shorten the sleeves by washing and drying and the shirt, and then only ironing the body, so that the body goes back near normal but the sleeves stay short.
Happy ironing!
