Day 248/366

I learnt something today.

Well, two things really.

The first is that I must trust my instinct.

The second is that ironing a poly-cotton fabric with a hot iron will cause it to shrink.

When I chose the purple, lavender and white floral fabric at the top of the above picture, I suspected that it was not one hundred percent cotton.

But I chose to ignore this suspicion and used it for my Row Along patchwork anyway.

So when I hit it with the hot iron it shrank.

I've unpicked it and chosen another fabric.
