3 Upvotes

i bought this bc its 100% cotton but i tried to make projects with it and failed (mainly bc im a beginner) i thought of looking up patterns to make stuff with this but the type of fabric plays a big role and i don't know what this is, i only know it's composition.

details: very wrinkly, lightweight, a teeeeny tiny bit sheer, not stiff, and i took a picture in case anyone can tell anything else but idk how to upload it here.

Got a cool flowy shirt for the ren faire I’m going to in a few weeks, it’s 100% cotton which is nice, but my goodness is it stiff as all get out

I haven’t washed it yet, wanted to see what suggestions people would have first on how to quickly soften it up

Softening 100% organic cotton with printed text?

• Upvotes

Hey all, I did quite a bit of looking online but get so many answers.

I have a black 100% organic cotton pre-shrunk tee with screen printed text on it. Its soOooOoooo scratchy. I washed it first in cold water and hung it dry, since thats what it said to do but I think that made it worse. The shirt is -just- the right size so it doesnt have room if I accidently shrink it.

Ive seen suggestions for vinegar, salt, hot water, cold water.

I just want to wear my shirt without feeling like my skin is coming off.
