Extra Fabric with Clothing
We’ve all bought clothes that come with a tiny bag that has an extra patch of fabric inside. For most people, their first instinct is to think that it’s there in case the shirt or pants get a rip. With a little extra fabric, you could just sew up the hole. But that’s not why clothes come with extra fabric. Think about it, unless you’re a professional seamstress, it would be obvious that you patched a hole. Instead, that extra fabric is so you can test out washing the material a certain way to know if it’ll shrink or the colors will bleed. After all, you don’t want to wash a new shirt without knowing how it’ll react in the machine. With the extra fabric, you can test it out ahead of time. Neat, huh?
