Shrinking Clothes
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2015 1:03 pm
... on purpose!
I bought some new clothes and I bought a sweater I really like but because it is made of cotton I bought it a size too large so that it would still fit when it shrunk. I failed to notice the part where it said hand wash. There I go thinking ahead, usually I get them and they fit perfectly then after a wash and dry I can never wear them again. I bought a whole bunch of polo shirts this summer and then they shrunk, but only up so now I have a whole bunch of polo shirts that are really wide and short.
In any case I'm not sure how I'm going to shrink it now and it's way too big. I suppose I could just experiment but I really like it and I'd rather make it so I can wear it or give it to someone who can wear it instead of ruining it. Any expert clothes shrinking suggestions?
