We recommend pre washing your fabric before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight fabric into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases, 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 fabric 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 non bio detergent on 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.

We have used it to make our Top 64 (pictured), the Foreman and Ottoline jackets. We have this cloth in three colours – please click on alternative fabrics to see the others.
