Thanks to my friends on the QuiltArt list, I gathered the courage to discharge (bleach) a rayon shirt that I really liked, but was too bright for me. I prefer wearing muted colors, so wanted to overdye it. Here's the result of the bleaching step ... before and after pictures. (Excuse the rushed ironing job!) So far, no holes in the fabric ... I did use Anti-Clor after rinsing out the bleach, followed by a thorough hot-water wash with Synthrapol. Now I just need to overdye it ... maybe a coppery color.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next, Linda!
ReplyDeleteGlad you used anti-chlor, Linda. I have more holes than I can count from just adding bleach to the laundry. If you find a good copper color for overdyeing, let me know. Chino?
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I have no plans to draw on fabric -- for now.
