    My youngest sister lives only an hour away from Salem. I love exploring there. History is alive and well in that area! You are going to have so much fun! I like the way your shirt turned out. It’s very cute being darker. I am going to try it on an old blue flannel I have. Thanks for this fun video💛🍁💛

    great job! you'll love Salem :)...just be prepared for ANY and EVERY kind of weather if you're going during Halloween week...we've been many times and it can snow, rain, be blustery or sunny and cool...it's near the water so you can get a multitude of weather changes...so much to see while you're there...make sure you take the "ride-all-you-want" Trolley when you sight see--it's really a great feature if you're interested in getting some history...have fun and be prepared for the crowds :)...thanx for sharing :)

    I would try it again in the pot with straight bleach but don't let it dry. Dip it in water if it starts to dry. It is cute though! Make sure your hair is off your back, it did cover the picture up. Very cute!!

    You will love Salem. Be sure to take an evening walking ghost tour, they are fun. Besides all the normal touristy things, I loved all the small private little restaurants and pubs to eat dinner. If it’s still there by the wharf, check out Captain Dusty’s ice cream. It’s a local favorite and so yummy! I hope you have a wonderful time. Enjoy!

    Your shirt looks great. I had to use straight bleach and soak for awhile on a shirt I did. I have seen on other tutorials where they couldn’t get the shirt to bleach out either. Super excited for you, enjoy your trip!

    Hi Becky,
    Thanks for sharing this DIY project. I actually really like how the shirt turned out with the ombre effect. Your applique is perfect for it.
    Bleach and I have a very troubled relationship. It has ruined more than a few items despite how careful I am. Now, I wear a oilcloth apron if I touch the bleach bottle...lol...

    I think your shirt looks cute without the bleached areas. You could always add wide trim on the cuffs and bottom of shirt but it’s adorable like it is!!! Take lots and lots of pics to share with us👻🎃🧙‍♀️

    Watched a video where she had the same problem and she ended up using RIT dye remover and the final result was really cute and it bleached it almost white. Yours turned out cute, though!

  • @karenbutcher5921
    @karenbutcher5921 2 года назад

    I’ve done a few and it really depends on the fabric. I’m not sure if you said if it was cotton or not. I think that worked the best for me.

    • @MyLittleVintageHome
      @MyLittleVintageHome  2 года назад

      I think the polyester in the shirt was what stopped it from working.

  • @sweetums6607
    @sweetums6607 2 года назад +1

    Did you wash your shirt (no fabric softeners) before you bleached it? The sizing in the fabric may have been a factor in it not bleaching. Is the shirt cotton, some other fibers don’t bleach very well? You may want to add another line of stitching around the fabric to keep it from raveling to far.
    Tfs

    • @MyLittleVintageHome
      @MyLittleVintageHome  2 года назад +1

      I didn’t wash it first, I’m wondering if the polyester blend is the reason it wouldn’t bleach.

  • @TowardsASimpleLife

    What a cute shirt! I haven’t seen that effect before. Question about your new shirt: what is polyester content? Polyester wouldn’t bleach as well as cotton or wool flannel. Oh wait. You just answered my question. Yep… the polyester was the problem. It still looks nice though!

    • @MyLittleVintageHome

      Yes! 😭I realized after I was finishing up that it was a polyester / cotton blend.
