Random #sewing question for the Fediverse. I know I have to wash and dry these fabrics to shrink them, so no cutting until that is done. Do I cut off approximately the amount I need before washing, or should I just wash the entirety of the fabric I have (too large, but not much larger than required fabric -- 2 yards of the outside and 2 yards of the liner fabric. I'm going to go outside - Pokemon, inside - black nylon/poly)?
