Try washing it in a wool wash and then air drying it.
I tend to wash linen in a wool/delicate wash product as it can help with the stiffness/scratchiness -

I wish your trip home could be happier Jay.
We were meant to head to our beach cottage but we had farm issues to attend to, so we stayed home. I have not had to cook as I prepped all the meals already so I sewed up Jed’s shirt, made Trixie some hanky linen Puppet show shorts and drafted off the Jedediah trousers.
And ate too much cheese, way too…[Read more] -

Thanks to continuing insomnia, my sewing has been very productive. Tonight I finished the Art Museum trousers (just need to try them on the boy tomorrow and then I can install elastic and hem). Tonight I also made a new maternity tshirt by lengthening the Maria Denmark Kimono tee pattern. I came upstairs because it is nearly 1 a.m. but I don’t…[Read more]

@sarvi your Persian New Year in the park experience reminded me of one of my favorite Carl Sandburg poems from 1916.
Happiness
I asked the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men.
They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was… -

I have been meaning to try carbon paper but haven’t done it yet. I do have a tracing wheel inherited from my grandmother and I find that for a lot of fabrics, I can just trace over the pattern onto the fabric, without any carbon paper or other ink-leaving device, and the divots left by the wheel are deep enough for me to see the line when I am…[Read more]

I’m so sorry to hear that Jay. My mother died of cancer last year and I did not make it home in time either. I felt very helpless and really devastated that I was not able to be there for her at the end. I hope your trip home and your visit to her family is able to provide some small measure of comfort. Hugs to you.

Iranian picnics sound much like Armenian picnics. Armenians (at least in Armenia, not sure whether they do this in Glendale too, perhaps you know?) go out into the woods and build a barbecue pit, then haul in the platters of skewered meat, herbs and vegetables (and lots of bread, no rice). And don’t forget the moonshine. Lots of moonshine.…[Read more]
