Stupid laundry question

[Goofyposter]

....I *suspect* there's no solution to this...but I thought I'd throw this out there to see....

I've recently got some long sleeve cotton tee shirts to wear. But generally when I'd doing something, I'll push the cuffs up...the problem is that the cuffs (even after washing/drying) dont shrink back to their proper size...so the sleeves at the cuffs are now way bigger then they should be....Is there anything I/Mrs. G can do to make just the cuffs shrink back???

Thanks!

If they are cotton, they should come back in the drier. If they are a blend, probably nothing.

I can't think of anything but using hot water and that would shrink the whole thing. sorry

I don't think there is anything you can do. My sister always pushes her sleaves back, and that's why I never let her borrow my shirts when we were growing up. I couldn't stand the way the ends of the sleaves sagged around my wrists after she wore them.

I don't think there isanythng you can do except to cut the sleeves off and make them short sleeve shirts. That's my solution.

If you or someone else has a sewing maching you could run a new seam on the cuff and take it in. You probably would not be able to push them up as far afterwards, though.
