Tailor’s Ham
What is a "tailor’s ham" please? Never heard?
Correct pressing is very important when sewing, and such a pressing pillow be of great help, for example to iron darts softly. By pressing over the pillow, the fabric can be brought more into shape.
You can easily sew such a tailor’s ham yourself, a few scraps of fabric are enough for that.
I have prepared a pattern for the tailor’s ham. Download it and then cut out the shape once from a smooth and once from a somewhat rough material. My pillow is made of flannel and an old duvet cover. Synthetic fabrics don't usually tolerate excessive heat, so it's best to use cotton.
