We recommend prewashing your fabric before you start your project.

It is normal for fabric to shrink up to 5% when it is first washed and prewashings will ensure that your garment will fit correctly once sewn up!

Wash at 30°C
Avoiding tumble drying where possible
Cool iron if needed

This helps keep colours vibrant and fabric looking lovely for longer.

We do our best to photograph fabrics as accurately as possible, but colours can vary slightly between screens and devices.
