CREATIVE SUNDAY || GUIDE ON PRESSING OUR ENGLISH AND CULTURAL ATTIRES

Before deciding to start this DIY project, I conducted a survey of some of my hive friends to find out their preferences for having their laundry done by a professional or by themselves. I discovered that most of them prefer to have their laundry done by professionals because they lack the knowledge necessary to properly press (iron) their clothes. Therefore, using my extensive knowledge and experience in this area, I decided to share a step-by-step guide on how to press cloth, be it an English dress or a traditional attire.

Cloth press can be so tiring, but then the need to look good and Charming when stepping out is definitely worth all the stress, beside it's only tiring when you've a lot of cloth to press at a time, so whenever I've lot of cloth to press at the same time, I usually play wonderful songs to while away the time while I press the clothes.

***So without further ado, let dive into the step by step process of cloth pressing.***

**MATERIAL NEEDED** * Iron * Iron stand * Clean wrapper **PROCESSES**

So to start with, I'll be sharing the process of how I press my English office wears;

• For the shirt, I first press the collar of the shirt.

• After this I press both sleeve of the shirt, the front and back of each in other to have a smooth surface.

• I then press both side of the front part of side of the shirt, then I button up the shirt and iron the front of the shirt once more.

• Once the front part is smooth enough, I turn the shirt over and press the back of the shirt, after which I folded few quarter of the shirt and press it, I fold the sleeve on it and did same on the other side.

• After this I just folded up the shirt gradually and press each time a fold was made.

• Apologies I tried as much as talk about the trouser ironing, but the uploading of the pictures weren't going through, so I had to make so with the available one's.

I hope my friends @sholex94 @burlarj @seunny and @b0s find this diy valuable and start working towards pressing their cloth by themselves.

I believe this will save them and everyone else huge amount of money and make them self sufficient as well.
