you could try that or:
What you will need:
sewing needle
durable string or thread
Fold the bikni bottom in half, butt side up. Now mark the wherever the middle ends up being (the crease you folded will mark the middle). Thread your needle and tie a knot big enough so that it wont pull thru the fabric. now start about halfway down the butt crack (halfway down the crease vertically) and pull your needle thru the fabric so that the knot is on the inside. now weave your needle in and out (in a straight line, grabbing about half an inch of fabric each time) towards the top of the bikini. now scrunch the fabric against the thread to shrink your bikini. tie the knot of indestructibly and pau.

1. Pour cold water into a boiling pan and boil it to bubbling on a gas/electric hob.
2. Tape over or protect any ironed on embroidery on the shorts.
3. Put the shorts in the pan and leave for 5-10 minutes.
4. Empty the pan of water and leave the shorts in the pan and put them aside to dry.
5. Wear you're 100% cotton shorts with pride!
No the cotton will not shrink in your dryer
cotton shrinks in the dryer because of its fibers. cotton will shrink the most the first time you wash it.
yes.
from my experience, any cotton shrinks in the dryer. I have washed laundry for years, and I always buy a larger size tee cause i know it will shrink.
If the heat is on high -yes
all you have to do is soak your pants and throw them in the dryer. Also,100% cotton pants will shrink better than 90% cotton or lower pants.
Yes. The higher percentage of cotton in the blend, the more it will shrink. The higher percentage of spandex in the blend, the more likely the garment will be damaged in the high heat of the dryer.
Cotton dries in both, washing machine and dryer. You can expect new cotton clothing to shrink by up to 10%. The reason for shrinking is the temperature: the higher, the more your clothing will shrink.
One hundred pima cotton usually shrinks as much as 20 percent. It can shrink as much a 30 percent depending on the weave.
if it's all or mostly cotton, dampen it with water and put it in the dryer on hot. It should shrink a size or two!
Yes, all cotton shrinks but ring spun doesn't as much as 100% cotton. If you don't want it to shrink then when you get it out of the washer DON'T put it in the dryer and let it air dry. IMPORTANT: This only makes it shrink less, it still will shrink some. I always order one size bigger if its cotton and let it shrink to my size. Hope this answered your question. God Bless!
Boil them for about 20-30 minutes
