Remember my cute new monogrammed kitchen towels I showed you a while back?
Well, they finally needed a wash. Here's what came out of the dryer.
Who new you had to be careful washing ribbon from Hobby Lobby? Or did I get a dud roll?
At least it came off cleanly. I thought about ripping the ribbon off and sewing something new on, but decided I didn't want to mess with it and maybe it would keep coming off if I washed them again. This is after 2 washes. I'm hoping after one more all of the dots will be gone and I'll just have a lovely solid black ribbon.
I'm actually glad that this happened. I was about to add some of that same cute ribbon to accent a dress of my daughter's. I'm definitely re-thinking that project now!
You win some, you lose some.
What's your best (worst?) DIY disaster?
At least it was little diy gone wrong! :) Mine are too numerous to count!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you glued the ribbon on? Perhaps if you had sewn it instead. I can see how the glue would reheat and melt in the dryer. Maybe wash and dry all ribbon before use - like you would fabric? :) I still think they're really cute. Have your friend monogram a cute wavy pattern on the bottom! OR you could always just hang dry your next ones!
ReplyDeleteHi Ansley, nope, everything was sewn on so that wasn't the problem. It's a mystery! (maybe just cheap ribbon :)
DeleteOh drats! What a mystery indeed, but hey, maybe you will have a polka dotted ribbon in a few more washes...still pretty though.
