Description
Monday morning, and the laundry basket is overflowing. Steam rises from the iron as Maman presses the Sunday tablecloth, the school shirts and the lace collar she has worn to every wedding for thirty years. The radio plays an old waltz. She hums along, the iron gliding back and forth in time with the music, and the whole kitchen smells of warm cotton and lavender water. Somehow, this is her favorite hour of the week.
This clever piece is a wonderful gift for a seamstress, a quilter, a tailor or the friend who actually enjoys ironing. It also makes a playful present for a newlywed setting up house, or for a grandmother whose pressed linens are legendary. Display it in a sewing room, a laundry nook or a kitchen shelf among other domestic treasures, where it never fails to raise a smile.
Inside and out
- A steam iron resting on an ironing board

Hide a few pretty buttons or a thimble inside, and it becomes a sewing room mascot. It proves that even the humblest chore can be transformed into something lovely. Anyone who has ever found peace in the rhythm of pressing linens will understand the charm of it immediately. Numbered and witty, it is a collector’s delight too.
