Fabric Prep


Hello there! This post is for my fellow sewers out there.  I will show you what I do to prep my fabric before sewing. It’s really simple and can save you from extreme fraying or shrinking projects because you didn’t pre-wash. I got some nice fabric from some recent garage sales. 







 

Before I launder fabric I always do a zigzag stitch around the edges to keep it from fraying in the wash.












After I wash and dry the fabric I try to always iron it before storing.

That’s it; simple, right? Now go forth and sew my lovelies!
Thanks for reading, Kirstin
