Preview - Tomorrow
Tomorrow we Cut Fabric so you can get a head start by pre-washing anything that you intend to wash as a garment. For me that generally means washing everything but silk, in cold or warm water gently. For linen and cotton warm and dry hot. I want them to shrink as much as then are going to, before the garment is made. For wool I wash in cold with a bit of baby shampoo and dry gently. I don't want to raise that much of the nap, unless I am going for the peasant look, in which case wash warm and dry hot. Buy extra if you are going to do this as you will loose about a 1/4 yard for every two yards in length.
