If, after washing, the garment shrinks, you can apply steaming and stretching of the fabric. This procedure is carried out from the seamy side. Do not overdo it in the process of stretching the canvas in order to prevent damage or loss of shape. After that, you should moisten the fabric and leave it unfolded to dry completely to return the pattern.
