Her packaging may just outdo SMS: Inside, we find this &#8211; WOW COLOR: Holy moly, look how bright! Most of these I can&#8217;t imagine pairing with anything other than her line, but we&#8217;ll see. There&#8217;s pre-washing and such to do. Speaking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As it turns out, pre-washing the cheap fabrics seems to have taken a lot of the &#8220;tacky&#8221; feel out of them. I noticed, as I was putting them into the washing machine, they had a fairly foul smell &#8211; I wonder if the nasty feeling was preservative chemicals of some sort? At any rate, they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tip: Do pre-wash your fabrics in warm water and dry on medium to get any shrinkage out of the way before you cut. Don&#8217;t wash your husky mix&#8217;s doggie bed immediately before doing so. It&#8217;s fall. Sumi is shedding even more than usual. Oy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I decided to quit pussyfooting around this quilting thing and Just Doo Eet. I&#8217;d been debating potholders and placemats and maybe just some fricking napkins to get started and I realized, &#8220;Ok, what&#8217;s the worst-case scenario if I fail? I&#8217;m out some fabric. BFD.&#8221; Well, technically, I&#8217;m out some fabric and some self-esteem on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I pre-washed my little bundle of fabrics, because pre-washing is a good idea. It gets rid of nasty manufacturing sprays, it shrinks the fabric (if it&#8217;s going to shrink) and softens it up for coziness. Here&#8217;s the thing, though: If you prewash, perch (vulture-like) over your dryer and pluck those puppies out of there [...]]]></description>
