It held - shrank a little bit but not too much.

This makes me want to do it even more! <br /><br />When I've worked with linen, I've always washed it, because it does tend to shrink. however, I use starch when I iron it, to help it flatten out again.Devinhttp://www.formakingssake.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242889.post-80876939223654012422012-07-31T18:00:03.956-05:002012-07-31T18:00:03.956-05:00I love the bag!
