it’s been a fun day
I’ve had a productive day… I just haven’t taken any photos of the progress on my outfit (my bad!)
I washed the silk today, on gentle, on cold, in my washing machine. It’s not something I’d recommend (if only because the fabric manufacturers don’t recommend it!) But I spent my early twenties working in a fabric store and that’s left me with a mild allergy to fabric sizing. It’s pretty mild, I start sneezing and can get a rash if I’m not careful… I just didn’t want to spend my wedding day sneezing and scratching :-)
I also hung the silk to dry outside, I didn’t want to risk the dryer!
Actually, my clothesline was gorgeous today - in addition to the ten yards of silk, I also had four yards of silver/grey taffeta for my skirt muslin (remember what I said about testing patterns?) I also washed these fabrics:
That’s the fabric for my bridesmaid’s shawls - it looked so pretty out on the line that I wished I had some to keep for myself :-)
Once a fabric hound, always a fabric hound :-)
