Shrinky Dinky

It's important to note that fabric can do what ever it darn well pleases, when you wash it!

It's common for many fabrics to shrink 1%- 3% when washed.... (3% of yard is just over 1 inch). Some can shrink as much as 8% - 10%!

We did a little test run on some Baby Nay Luau.




Before Wash(a 36" cut) After Wash (33")
So.... Beware of cutting it too close! (pun intended).
What's Your experience?
