We recommend pre washing your fabric before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the fabric, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

• Wash your fabric on its own for the first wash.
• Sink your fabric  in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the cloth already wet.
• If you can break up your fabric into half this will help.
• For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
• If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
• Do not tumble dry.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
