I've always been able to hand wash what I've made and even my RTW.<br /><br />I also love using a ham and I'm looking for a larger one. Unfortunately they are very hard to find.<br /><br />Ironing outside in a garden setting must be so relaxing :)Ann Made Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736679240367173915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-30839679128518455222010-01-28T18:12:24.200+08:002010-01-28T18:12:24.200+08:00hahahaha all of my clothes are made out of silk. I...hahahaha all of my clothes are made out of silk. If I dry cleaned everything it would cost me about $200/week! The reason they put dry clean only on everything is because silk isn't colour fast (although it's better now than it was in the past). So every time you wash it it will fade a little. So basically, if something is white or a pale colour, hand wash it all the time! If something is a really vibrant colour, try not to wash it too often. <br /><br />I love that dress. I didn't know you could buy hams from spotlight! I am getting one immediately! I've wanted one for YEARS but I thought they were a specialty item that would be impossible to find!<br /><br />(I'm so sad... I have no time for sewing now... all my sewing stuff is at my mum's house coz my boyfriend won't let me bring it in our house... so I have no idea when I'm going to find the time to make anything!)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135323227934843738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-50839607355894352882010-01-28T15:46:57.007+08:002010-01-28T15:46:57.007+08:00A perfect party dress and it looks like you did a ...A perfect party dress and it looks like you did a perfectly fine job of laundering it yourself. I stopped dry cleaning years ago. One the cost was killing me and two I figured if I ruined it...well, I never have ruined anything yet.Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260963293998396631noreply@blogger.com
