Question:

I accidentally just machine-washed a sweater with Dry Clean Only label-Any way to repair the damage?

Is there any way to fix the damage I caused to my favorite sweater? It was ready to go to the dry cleaner and I tossed it in the machine on extra-care wash with my other delicatesThe fabric is a viscose/rayon blendIt has definitely shrunk and the seams seem to be puckering at the shouldersIs it gone forever?????

Answer:

You could try putting the feathers on with velcro, or a chip, to a boot of some sortI have a pair of boots I use for my horse's back feet, they're black and are made of a fabric all over that will allow anything to be velcro-ed to it.
Make Velcro bands that fit the hooves and sew the feather yarn onto the Velcro.
I would let it dry flat and try to stretch it outViscose is a natural polymer, spun into yarn and rayon is a plant based fiber, spun into yarn, so its like cottonI think if it shrank, its shrunk for good :( sorry.
