Fabric Information - Boardshort Fabric

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach to maintain the fabric’s color and integrity.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat to prevent shrinking or damaging the fabric’s smooth finish.
  3. Ironing: Use a low heat setting if ironing is necessary. Iron on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth to avoid any shine or marks on the fabric.
  4. Storage: Store folded or rolled in a cool, dry place to prevent wrinkles and preserve the fabric’s smooth texture.

Use Instructions:

  • Lightweight and Durable Projects: Ideal for making boardshorts, swimwear, activewear, and lightweight casual clothing due to its quick-drying and durable nature.
  • Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for clean, precise cuts. The fabric’s smooth surface may require careful handling to prevent slipping.
  • Sewing: Use a universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and a straight or zigzag stitch. A walking foot can help manage the fabric and prevent puckering or stretching.
  • Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any potential manufacturing residues and ensure the fabric behaves as expected in the final garment.

By adhering to these care and use guidelines, your boardshort fabric projects will maintain their lightweight, durable, and smooth characteristics, making them perfect for functional and stylish swimwear and casual attire.
