Caring for your fabrics!

As fabric can shrink up to 10% in its first wash, it is important to pre-wash all fabric before starting your sewing projects.

It is best practice to wash your fabrics how you intend your final projects to be washed, so that you don't have any issues when finished. We recommend sewing washing in the coolest water possible (40 degrees or below) on a gentle cycle and drying on the line, inside out, in the shade.

Ensure you use quality washing powders or liquids that contain no bleaching or whitening agents to take the best of care with the colours. We recommend washing like-coloured fabrics together. Some recommend using colour catchers with your knit fabrics for their final wash.
