My Mom used one of those bottles with the sprinkler top and rolled up all the clothes. Nice memory :)
Haven't seen her do that in a long time lol

Well just don't do what I did and will never do again. I'm getting all my fabric organized and found a bolt of Kona 108" wide that hadn't been washed. You guessed it! 15 yds of 108" went into washer. :shock: Well what came out of the dryer is an ever loving MESS! Can't even talk myself into trying to tackle the mound of material that's there. Its still sitting on LR couch where I placed a few days ago! :oops:
I think it'll wait until I can put it on the clothes line the full length and then try to tackle the folding of it that way. OMG will NEVER do again.

For those of us that remember the old bottle with sprinkle top, clothes rolled and placed in fridge and then ironed the next day, boy are we dating ourselves.
Does anyone remember the metal stretch stays that were placed inside dads pants to keep the crease in them?
Boy where has the time flown too?
oh the good old days.
