Okay it's more black and off white now after washing it, even though I washed it cold. This is actually my most common prewash problem, I love contrasting colours, but sometimes they do run. sigh ... never mind though, this time it wasn't too bad :-)Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687447086361922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-52900160835671977592013-01-17T08:59:29.770+11:002013-01-17T08:59:29.770+11:00I have washed my.

I still need to wash my fabric and I usually wash it on how I plan to normally wash it once the garment is made. In this case my skirt will just be put in the washing machine with my other clothes and washed in cold water. I tend to not usually follow the recommended washing... a little naughty I know. But as I don't dry clean anything I own I always put whatever fabric I use in the washing machine unless it's a super delicate fabric then I might only ever hand wash that garment and in that case I only hand wash the fabric before I sew it.Chris Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804725788257834748noreply@blogger.com
