Years ago when tie dye was all the rage, I went through all that mess. I even died a set of sheets for DH and I. I went through so much water rinsing till the water ran clear, did the vinegar thing to set the color. Then I noticed at a later time that some of my DHs tee shirts had a hint of color to them, finally figured out that the color was rubbing off on the shirts. That ended my dyeing life, no more of that for me. And I think the sheets got donated to some lucky charity. I can't be bothered with all that work, if I don't have the right color in stock I'll find something else that will work. I grew up in the 40s and 50s and having to heat water on the stove to take baths, and having the old wringer washer to do laundry, not interested in going through that again.

As far as ironing,. I got one of those Rowenta steam generator irons just like Donna Jordan has. I also have my nice big ironing table that I used to use for home dec sewing back when I made window treatments for people. Now it is just heaven to iron.
