We all want to look our best during our travels, but it’s a pretty difficult task. Even when we end up packing our best clothes, it’s not unusual for them to wrinkle up along the way, but this can be avoided if you follow our advice.

Packing Method

Rolling your clothes is a good way to save up some space in your suitcase, and they won’t be as wrinkly as they usually are afterward.

If you’re hesitant to get your kids on board with file folding their t-shirts, why not try rolling them instead? . It’s easy enough for children 3 years and up to do and allows you to fit more in their drawers, while still being able to see clothing options! . Try it this weekend with a fresh basket of clean laundry! . 🔸To be featured on my InstaStories, use the hashtag #rollingchallenge with you and your kiddo reorganizing a drawer with this rolling method!🔸 . . . #filefolding #rollingclothes #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #homeorgsnization #beherenow #organizedhome #livingorganized #gettingorganized #partofchildhood #thework #organizeddrawers #professionalorganizers #organizersofinstagram

Right Fabrics

Always go with low maintenance fabrics that don’t need to be ironed to look good. Wool and polyester come to mind, but you’ll see for yourself how your clothes behave.

Shower Steam

If none of these tricks work, you can hang your clothes in the bathroom while you’re showering because the steam can do a great job eliminating the wrinkles.

Tiny Iron

If you have enough room in your suitcase, bringing a tiny travel iron is also an option, but checking the reviews and seeing if your accommodation provides one wouldn’t hurt either.

Just shared a review in my stories of my new Mini Project Iron that was gifted to me from @olisohome ! I never thought I would need a mini iron til I started traveling with my machine and making #sewnawayfromhome projects, and I realized that hotel irons are for the birds. This one is so small that it easily fits into my luggage and it’s small but efficient design actually trumps large irons in ways I never expected- it can get into tight spots and crevices easily and the compact shape gives me a crazy amount of control over which parts of a project I want to put heat on- it’s almost like ironing with your hand. Best of all, YOU DONT HAVE TO LIFT THE IRON UP TO SET IT ON IT’S BOTTOM WHEN NOT IN USE!!! It comes with a silicone resting mat that both protects it in storage and keeps your iron separate from the surface so you don’t burn your board or your fabric 🤯🤯🤯. Brilliant! Will be sharing a review of their (also amazing) regular sized iron when I’m back in LA, so stay tuned! And thank you, @olisohome ! #ad #makers #homesewist #homemaker #imadethat #sewingtools #traveliron
