Denim jeans and cotton sheets
Pillow case, a white cotton hoodie, cloth napkins and, yes, t-shirts ~ all warm and smooth after the glide of the hot iron.
Tactile release of invisible memories ~
a childhood little red iron that really warmed!
lessons about ironing on tea towels and embroidered pillow cases
pressing open seams of dresses and skirts made in my teens
enjoying even today the smooth feel of fabric on my skin
all despite developments so ironing can become part of home making history.
“Touch has a memory.”
~ John Keats
