Jul. 25th, 2005 01:05 pmat work, so it has to be text-only.
I have a question, that may just be silly.
I have an old white shirt that I love. It fits perfectly, I love the neckline, etc etc. Before I go stenciling it, I wanted to see if there was a way that you gals knew of to bring it back to white. Like I said it's old, so it's sort of lost it's whiteness. It's just yellowy I guess from washings, getting dirty, etc.
I know that bleach will get white spots on things, but is there a way to use bleach to bring the shirt back?
This isnt so much a craft question as it is laundry 101 I suppose. hah.
Another option is to dye it another color, but like I said, I'd like to revive it more than anything.
Thanks!!!
