I'm making a slip-cover for the sofa, and need a ton of fabric, for obvious reasons. I found a great one that's on super sale right now for $5.99 a yard, but it's dry clean only. I was really hoping for something I could just toss in the washing machine when the dogs get it dirty.
I can take it to the cleaners periodically if I need to, I just don't much want the extra costs. The material is a sort of cotton canvas, similar to duck. Is it a shrinkage issue? Does anyone know why cotton would be marked dry clean only? I probably have to abide by that, don't I?
