Thanks everyone who commented on the bag. Funny story to that. I went to a LQS looking for fabrics for a wall hanging. I had a Joanns bag filled with the scraps I was going to use and the pattern. When I walked in, their dog (a Dalmatian) would not stop being nosey and kept smelling my bag. Somehow he got his head in the handle and then was spooked and ran off ripping my bag. The owner gave me that adorable bag as a replacement for the one her doggie broke. She said Casey (the dog) insisted I choose a bag for replacement of the one he broke.

Your so smart:)

Great idea and a good way to eliminate wrinkles on freshly ironed fabric, especially if you iron a lot of fabric at a time like I do. I wash my fabric, then when I have a day that needs some "down" time, I iron fabric, not clothes, just fabric.

You've probably seen the hangers for multiple pairs of pants. These are great for hanging your freshly-ironed fabrics. Slipping a cardboard tube from wrapping paper, paper towels, etc. or section of PVC pipe over each hanging rod helps to avoid a hanger crease

I finally remembered that I have a wooden drying rack, the folding kind. I've been hanging my ironed fabric on that now. I can hang quite a few pieces before any overlapping, but even that works. Also, helps to finish drying any pieces that are still a little damp from starching, and they dry nice and straight.

RonieM 01-06-2012 12:10 PM

Great idea. I love reading this board because everyone is so creative!

Craftygran 01-06-2012 01:22 PM

Great idea. I made a large wooden top for my ironing board and just love it. Now I will do the fabric hanger. Thanks

tlclifford47 01-06-2012 02:57 PM

What a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing.

luvstitches 01-06-2012 03:14 PM

That is a fabulous idea and thank you for sharing it. I may have to use this idea too!

KimS 01-06-2012 04:09 PM

What an awesome idea! Wish I'd kept one of those Christmas paper rolls now. :(

gramma nancy 01-06-2012 04:28 PM

Thanks for a wonderful idea. It has always bothered me that I spend the time ironing fabric, then fold it and push it into the stash. This is way better.

Marni 01-06-2012 05:24 PM

Great idea!

jellybelly5000 01-06-2012 05:39 PM

heather1949 01-06-2012 08:05 PM

Love it, thanks so much for sharing you brilliant idea with us,i am definately going to use this hint.

SandyinZ4 01-06-2012 08:08 PM

What a great idea. Now I just have to wait until I get a wrapping paper tube empty. :-) I would think one could tape several paper towel roll ones together and that would work, too.

jaciqltznok 01-06-2012 08:10 PM

now that is true recycling...way to go...have to share that idea if you don't mind!

kay45 01-07-2012 05:54 AM

great idea! I will be looking for a mailing tube or something. As for the larger ironing board, my DH fixed one for me a couple of years ago. We used an old ironing board (from resale shop) and he bolted the new top to the old board. I covered it with some cotton quilt batting and some of the silver looking stuff to resist heat and stapled it all down on the underside and "I love it".
