Can you iron clothes properly?
In university obviously I learnt how to cook more meals for myself, do washing, use grill and things like that and I had the intention of learning howk to iron but I literally can't iron for a toffee. I have tried and spent ages on one shirt and it usually ends up worse than when I started.
So ironing and me don't get on. How about you?

I can iron tea towels (h)
I'm ok at normal tshirts and stuff, but as soon as we get onto shirts or trousers, I'm a disaster zone. I ironed Lauren's work shirt once, and I burned it somehow. I wasn't even doing anything radical.

Yeah I'm alright with it, but I can be quite slow at it. I don't tend to iron very often though

horrible and when my mum is in a bad mood she will throw my stuff at me and get me to iron it myself
and then she will scream more about about the process of ironing like omg appaz we have to take special care in the ironing of the shoulders part etc and there are like steps in ironing

It depends on the iron. If it's crap and water comes out a bit then no. If it's a decent iron I'd say I'm not that bad at it lol

nope i've always struggled lmao but i'm still attempting to become a master!!
Everything apart from shirts. Always cringe when I see someone with an unironed/poorly ironed shirt half because it looks terrible (IRON THE BACK OF YOUR SHIRT PEOPLE) and Half because I know their struggle

I can iron a shirt if I need to, but I usually just hang my clothes up which achieves the same goal.

I've always ironed my own clothes, I hate normal irons, steam irons are where its at. I can iron anything pretty well, the only thing I struggle with at times, depending on the actual item, is getting the cuffs on a shirt right as they all have pleats in them which you can't just iron over. the other thing I sometime struggle with is getting the pleat in the front and back of smart trousers to light up down the middle of my leg. But apart from that I am pretty good and pretty fast. Generally get through a weeks washing in about 30 minutes.

how is it even possible to screw up ironing it's so easy
I actually really enjoy ironing, it's my favourite chore! I iron pretty much everything, apart from underwear :)
I only do the odd thing, as mum does the majority, and usually its like 'will u give it here and i'll do it.' Anyway im ok as long as it doesn't have pleats lmao

Not really, but I don't need to iron so I haven't really tried much.

I'm no pro, but I'm OK. I don't really do it often and have only ever needed to do it myself a handful of times.
i spent 4 years in air cadets, if the crease in my greens was wonky id be sanctioned (it was just extra drill, but they made it sound scary af) so ironing was like a big part of my tuesday evenings
yes i can iron
Same with me man -:Undertaker:-; ironing has always a pain in the butt especially my old job I had to wear a white collar long sleeve dress shirt and black slacks and every time before work I have to iron the sleeves so no wrinkles were on them! But if I was ever in a rush I would throw the shirt in the dryer and refresh it up and get it hot and throw it on and drive to work!

Um.. my mum does my ironing haha! Either that or I hang my clothes behind the door when having a shower.
I do the washing though. ;)
I can iron like everything except pants..... I hate trying to irons pants!!
I can anything apart from shirts, they always end up with creases :(
Inseriousity.

lol a couple of years ago youd have replied 'that's a woman's job' ;) I remember that running joke you had lolol
I'm terrible at ironing. I do the ironing and it looks the same as if I hadn't even bothered (and yes I turned it on).
