Lovely work..... what a shame the cleaners destroyed the original. That was a nice and heartfelt gesture which I'm sure the recipient will treasure.

beautiful job!

You did an amazing job on the replacement shawl. It's just beautiful. Too bad about the original.

 

[MCWool]

what a lovely replacement you have made.

 

[MrsBearstalker]

What a beautiful job you have done! So sad that the original was destroyed, but to have the lovely replica will mean so much to that family. Your work looks perfect.

The cleaners would be paying for damage, price of a family heirloom, etc: they (commercial cleaners) get away with too much, my ins co sent an antique quilt by accident to a cleaners.. needless to say both split the $$ on that one. no excuse for something like that to happen...

absolutely beautiful work

You did a fabulous job of re-creating this beautiful shawl. Too bad she sent the original to the cleaners. A good soak in Woolite probably would have done the trick.

Surprisingly, Woolite is not the recommended soap to use on wool or natural fiber. I believe Eucalan is what is recommended.

[Cats_Mommy2]

Beautiful! Could you share the pattern with us?

 

[CALEB'S MOM]

I'm thinking the pattern doesn't want to be shared..........

Great job!! So sad that cleaners ruined the original!!!

 

[Patty Sutter]

Beautiful work!!
I bet she never goes to that cleaners again!
I have not taken anything to be drycleaned in years. even my wool dress coat. Wash gently, hang dry and tumble in dryer with no heat to ease out wrinkles.

This will teach us all not to put so much faith in a dry cleaners when we need a heirloom cleaned. They have young, unknowing newbies just like anywhere else, and they, too, are understaffed. Better to try doing it yourself, Eucalan is very good!

Oh my I would have been so upset, however, you bounced back and done it again, it is so beautiful.

I am finding that cleaners ruin a lot of things today as don't know the problem, but a friend of my daughter' bridal dress was completely ruined by the dry cleaners. It was returned in a box so when she opened it, the dress was completely melted. Guess since they wrapped it for the future, they thought she would not open the box. She cried for a week and really thought it was not her dress as parts did not look the same.

Does anyone think it is the solutions they are using today or just too much heat? Janeway

Excellent job! Would you be willing to share the pattern?

 

[nittineedles]

I'm sorry but you'll just have to wait. I have a few bugs to work out with this pattern but can't even start on that until I have finished my customer's order; coat, bonnet, booties and pilchers to match the shawl.
