Care

We recommend washing before you cut and sew. This is a cotton knit and it will shrink in the first wash. Pre-wash and dry it the same way you plan to care for the finished garment, so the shrinkage happens before cutting, not after.

Cold wash, tumble low or line dry. Low iron. No bleach.

Sold by the yard. Cuts are continuous, order 2 yards, get one 2-yard piece.
