Personalized Minimalist Mama Sweatshirt with Kid Names

I was so excited for this sweater, but it ended up taking several weeks to receive then when it arrived the color wasn't as much of a clean fresh looking cream/beige, but rather dingy looking and the sweater material was stiff. I washed it hoping to make it soft with Downey but then sadly instead it was covered in lint, I washed it a few more times in vinegar (a trick to help remove lint from sweaters) but it's still covered in lint. I was so excited for this sweater with my kiddos names on it, but sadly the quality wasn't as expected. It's a wonderfully cute pattern, but the quality of the sweatshirt is not at all something that feels great or gets better/softer with time.
