Whenever you buy new fabric, wash it, and press it, it does fray a little bit around the edges, but not enough to cut into your usable fabric. It's SO much better to wash, press, and rotary cut your fabric edges than to not wash it at all. You'll still have plenty left to make cute aprons!<br /><br />I want to see pictures of your apron, girl!!!

I'm holding out hope that it does OK. As far as washing all of the fabric I bought: won't it fray and cut down on the amount of usable size? I could sew a zig zag stitch on all of the cut edges, but that might take a long time on the pieces I've measured and cut already for the next apron. Ideas??<br />Thanks,<br />WhitneyWhitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156724404663738794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510042310763816457.post-34819643331302720412009-12-08T11:35:11.352-07:002009-12-08T11:35:11.352-07:00Whitney - YES!

I'm an aspiring crafter/baker/cook and a mother of five. I've never made a scrap of clothing (I have made some pillows and tie block quilts when I was a teenager), and this is the FIRST article of clothing I've ever made. I'm so proud of myself and I have you to thank for it :) You can see how it turned out here: johnnyandjill.blogspot.comJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186654655666300633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510042310763816457.post-92017896008424029782009-03-14T16:13:00.002-07:002009-03-14T16:13:00.002-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sienna Starfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420967262384761861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510042310763816457.post-40583076606378348332009-03-14T16:13:00.001-07:002009-03-14T16:13:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sienna Starfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420967262384761861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510042310763816457.post-70625596074385770682009-03-14T16:13:00.000-07:002009-03-14T16:13:00.000-07:00This is so cute and looks so easy even I might be ...This is so cute and looks so easy even I might be able to do it.
