Did you know an ironing board once had an elbow?

On April 26, 1892, New Haven dressmaker Sarah Boone patented a narrow board with edges that followed the inside and outside seams of a sleeve.

The curves were strongest at the elbow, where a fitted sleeve was particularly awkward to press on a flat surface.

A hinged support steadied the board for the inside seam, then swung out of the way when the user turned the board over for the outside seam.

Boone also suggested using her design for curved waist seams.

Her patent is a reminder of how closely a dressmaker had to look at the shape of a garment, right down to the way a sleeve bends.
