Pre-washing Poly-viscose
A question for Pete, Rocky, and anyone else who's made a poly-viscose kilt.
We all know to wash cottons and poly-cottons to preshrink them before sewing.
We all know that with wool, you can just start sewing.
But do you wash your poly-viscose and dry it before you start measuring, cutting, and sewing?
I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

Thanks Rocky.
That means I get right to the cutting and marking, with no mucking about with the washer and clothesline.
