My daughter has this little dress that has a cotton bottom and knit tank top and she wants to redo it by removing the knit top portion and adding a peasant blouse bodice.
 |
| She carefully picked out the seams. |
 |
| She wanted to find something in my stash to work with. I had lots of odds and ends that coordinated but all too small. This one had potential but I told her we should use a tea bag to tone it down. |
 |
| I boiled water and added the tea bag. You can probably already see something is wrong. |
 |
| Should have had more water in the pot. |
 |
| I was in a rush and not thinking right I guess, and I threw the fabric into the pot and didn't remove the tea bag! |
 |
| I put the pot on low and ran an errand. |
 |
| Can you see that parts of the fabric got darker and some stayed lighter? |
 |
| I got out a dark pink fabric marker and colored in some of the flowers which have no color. I think it still may work out. I'll see if my daughter thinks so. |

Sorry about your little 'accident', but I'm sure it will work out. It looks fine to me and such a great idea to put some extra color on those flowers.
