Lemonade from lemons or where to get enough steam when needed

YAY! I love to find new and clever uses for tools I already have on hand. Not that I'm opposed to buying lots of additional tools, understand...

Thanks so much for passing along this tip to help get the stretch back into elastic. I certainly will try it and I hope it will help with elastic that is 3 years old. Barbara in SC

Well, I remember that a few years ago, I stoutly resisted the thought of using a steam generator. However, since I've tried it first I'm hooked and I really love my Tefal. Only yesterday I found a new use (well, not that new, but it was first for me): Currently, I'm taking pics of things that will have to go via eBay. The garments, even the poly items, were sadly crumpled. I knew that a quick dunk in cold water might have remedied this but of course I didn't want to wait that long. So I hung them up on clothes-hangers and passed the iron with steam over them. Worked miracles on the crinkle chiffon dress and fair enough on the coat. Steam - it's a kind of magic... End of musings. ;-)

Somewhere in this house, I have a Jiffy steamer. An older one with a metal head on the wand, rather than the later plastic one they use now. I got it originally to block knits and I think the one I have (which I bought second-hand, of course) came out of a dress shop where they use Jiffy steamers to steam the wrinkles out of new merchandise before hanging it for customers. It's a wonderful thing and very easy to use especially since it has wheels!
