Preparing for Saturday. . .

I just have time for a quick drive-by post today, so here is your reminder of the day:  Make sure you've prewashed the fabric you will use for this weekend's sew-along.  I know the last thing I want to do when I'm ready to start a project is take the time to wash and dry the fabric I want to use, so do it now.

Oh, and in case you are tempted to skip this step, don't!  Always, always, always prewash your fabrics.  I wash most fabrics in hot and dry on hot prior to use.  That way, I know I will be safe since I wash most of our clothes on cold after they are made.  Go ahead and go do it, so you'll be ready to go!
