you know the thing you can push into something and then iron it. I don't have one so I'm rolling up towels. Any other tips on how to iron the inside of an Easter basket???

How to make a tailor's ham instructions. Mine is made from wool and stuffed really hard. The wool makes steam work better.

Now we know what to use the "threads" we throw away for, use em to stuff the ham.

I was going to chime in and tell you to go to the grocery store but when I saw all the good responses to your request, I decided not to be a S.A. but as I read there wers several cute responses so I decided to put in my 2 cents! I realy had no idea what you were talking about so I learned a new name for a "thingy"to help you press with! I am an old lady and been sewing since I was not much more than a child and I never even knew it had a real name.

emily here is one. Not sure if you think this a good price, but if you google tailor's ham you will come up with several places that you can purchase them from.

This is the first thing I made in my home economics class in the 1950's. one side was wool and one side cotton duck and we filled with saw dust. Pounded it in and hand stitched it across the back end. I have had it all these years and still use it. Great Home econonics teacher!!!

I haven't seen one of these in years. My mother used to have one and always used it to press set in sleeves to reduce the gathering.
