How To Make a Perfect Shirt Tail Hem
Ready to sew like a pro? With the help of expert shirtmaker Pam Howard, you can learn step-by-step the secrets of creating a crisp, tailored shirt. Drawing on her lifetime of experience as a tailor and a teacher, Pam offers patient and thorough lessons that walk you through the process from pattern layout to the final press. Her innovative techniques include speed tailor's tacks, finger-felling (no special sewing machine foot required) and a tidy double yoke you can sew by machine.
While this class is intended for intermediate sewers, even beginners will come away with a better understanding of the craft and a project to work toward.
Turn your fabric into a flawlessly finished wardrobe staple and add finesse to your skills.

I'm interested in knowing about what that is Pamela has over her iron. I've never seen a cover like that. Please tell what it is and if it is available for purchase. Thanks!
