"Today, we've been talking about ironing. Now, the next step I'm going to have you move onto, is corduroy. Corduroy, big step, big step. I'm going to teach you a couple tricks. First of all, this is corduroy. Heavy, big corduroy. What I'm going to show you is I bet you didn't know this, but if you turn your pants, inside out, see like this? You get to see the construction of your garment, like that. Pockets, where everything goes. What I'm going to do is I'm going to slide this over, bring it down a little bit, so I can show you there. The rounded end of your iron, is a good place for a smooth leg, like that. What I want to do, I'm just going to do one but I want to show you, how much nicer it is to have these big pockets flat. It just makes your whole garment, seem a little bit leaner. We're going to create some steam, there we go. We're going to iron the pocket, moving it away from me. There we go. Just so I could show you, how to get a wrinkle out of corduroy, I'm going to turn it back over and we're going to get a wrinkle out. I'm just going to put it on here. What you want to do is you want to create a lot of steam, it's hot so just back away from it, if you need to. This creates a lot of moisture. Then, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to start to iron, there we go. It takes a little bit more steam, a little bit more effort. Make sure you are ironing with the grain, of the corduroy. Well, I have a lot more to go on this but we'll see you next time, with the next tip."
