Pressing seams is very important when sewing if you want your garment to look great. Make yourself a tailor's pressing ham using my how-to on BurdaStyle to make the job a little easier.

I'll have to make me my own ham as well. It will be perfect to iron something small without using the ironing board. Thanks for the tutorial.

the ancient tailor's ham i have is stuffed with sawdust ( !!!! )
i was told that kept it firm, and it wouldn't get too hot or scorch inside....
to press a sleeve or seams on a bag i roll up a magazine, then roll a towel over that, it works pretty good.
